    hmmm, that is good to know. I'm pretty much blunt and probably non-PC. I'm in an environment where we say things as they are and it doesn't mean anything bad, it just is what it is. I figured the article was written about him because he was blind. Granted, he is talented but the main emphasis was his disability. He is not his disability but not many people would overcome such a thing and become such a success. I think THAT is the story, not that he could do an Oly in under 2 hours. And I do know that many people overcome obstacles every day so because I'm so impressed by him it doesn't mean that I'm not impressed by other people. And before I dig myself into a hole...it's bedtime

    I will try to remember that. The language changes tend to go right by me and I don't always catch when they change but I will do what I can

    His accomplishment is amazing and something many people - able-bodied as well as those with a disability aspire to do. I didn't mean to make light of his accomplishment. I only wanted to inform of the language. Thanks for posting his amazing article. It was bedtime for me also, I probably could have written it better.
