The following question arose, for me, during a meeting with some
colleagues:
In the interests of appropriate terminology (putting people first -
talking
about "people with disabilities"/"people with literacy issues" rather
than
"disabled people/illiterate people"),
should one refer to left-handed people as "people with left-handedness"?
