ChanceyFleetPlease stop using "blindness" as a lazy synonym for "ignorance" in your writing. If there’s one thing about Blind folks: we survive and thrive by being perceptive, observing patterns and responding to cues. Not only is this use of "blindness" rude — it's uninformed. Mistaken. Obtuse. Naive. Counterfactual. There you go — five better ways to say "ignorant" than "Blind"
Joseph Lord@ChanceyFleet Does this include when it is specifically about being “blind to [some specific thing]”? What about blindspot? In these types of contexts it doesn’t seem like it is saying anything offensive about blind people.
Is it equally (or even more) offensive to use “see” as a synonym for “understand” as in “I see”?
