   NOt always.  I'm sorry but when these socialworker types   
   start referring to people such as myself as "visually   
   impaired ... " opr other claptrap, that's political   
   correctness. "visually impaired" or "visually challenged"   
   their usual other wordy bs euphemism is  part of what I call politically   
   correct terminology, and as I said, bs.   
      
   Visually challenged is trying to see a microbe without a   
   microscope, or find that little bitty component on the   
   circuit board without your magnifier, or for some, reading   
   the paper without their glasses.   
   Visually impaired is needing glasses.   
      
   I object to such "political correctness" whenever I   
   encounter it.  Call something what it is.   
      
   Regards,   
              Richard
