Original Note:
Disabled people widely disapprove of abled people using euphemisms for disability. "Disabled" isn't a dirty word. "People of determination" is dismissive, infantilizing, and inaccurate. The comments replies are full of disabled people asking people not to use this phrase. https://www.nea.org/words-matter-disability-language-etiquette#:~:text=Euphemisms%20like%20%E2%80%9Cdifferently%20abled%2C%E2%80%9D,person%20with%20disability%E2%80%9D%20is%20shameful.
