Lili's thought for the day
Please enough of using the word "unwell" as a euphemism for "insane". You politically-correct fools have not given a nice image to psychiatric illness, you twerps have only succeeded in buggering up another once-useful word in the English language.
I don't bother to say 'unwell' or 'insane', the first is too euphemistic and the second can be construed as insulting. Instead, I say 'mentally ill'. Good enough?

ReplyDeleteYou choose your words sensibly, Sheogorath. I wish more folks did the same.
