Please stop saying say. It's almost as bad as the n-word. There are a lot of neurodivergent people around here.

I personally like saying the word, but I'll admit this is one of the worse examples I've used in a while. Because I genuinely was trying to imply they were dumb, which makes it a more serious use of the word.

Personally I can't imagine saying that word in reference to anyone with a true disability. In my social circles, retarded is reserved for people acting in dumb ways due to really bad social skills or often even self centeredness or laziness. Using it in regards to the teachers was probably too close to a serious use of it and I shouldnt have. Sorry.

You may not imagine saying it, but we've all heard it plenty of times that we're not exactly going to assume it comes from a good place.
