Unfortunately, the point which I was trying to make, was lost (along with my

subject header). The point is, the term dwarf is also seen in a negative

light by a major dictionary, and one that is online.

<< So, I will call myself short-statured and say that I have a form of

dwarfism. Then I will educate those who use whatever words in a negative

context.

My point was lost too, but oh well. :-)

I will continue do the same as far as the educating and I describe myself of

short stature as well, but I will also work to have an inappropriate term

changed although a word is a word people look to resources to get information

and they shouldn't be getting wrong information nor should an inappropriate

word be in there that describes anyone negatively . :-)

Let me know how your kitties are doing. ^..^ My cat is driving me nuts every

am demanding food like a hungry baby which of course she is.

Hey, sometimes I'm a hungry baby in the a.m. too. lol :-)
