Probably under pressure from the SJWs. Medical people are practically minded, not given to rewriting the nomenclature to suit the fashion of the hour (they still use Latin for God's sake). Unless the money is threatened of course.

Tell me you’re a reactionary without telling me you’re a reactionary. Did you even read the link?

The results of both the parent and professional surveys support a move away from the use of the term mental retardation. The majority of parents indicated that they would be upset if a physician used the term mental retardation.

Leading with an insult is poor conversational technique.

We’re not conversing - that requires you to read what I said and reply/riff/retort off it to further the conversation. You dropped in with an unsubstantiated claim that was already dispelled.

If you had said something like

“Semantic treadmill does nothing to correct or improve social norms and bigotry”

“Hey it wasn’t a problem when I grew up and I’m slow to adapt - no hate here tho”

“Demanding linguistic change alienates well meaning people who don’t use it as a slur”

That’s a conversation.
