So Weird Al's newest song "Word Crimes" which I am very guilty of, includes the line "write like a spastic" While I personally don't have aproblem with that word apparently it has a negative connotation other places and is used as a slur against the handicapped. I know this because on the imdb forum for doctor who someone refered to Capaldi as another spastic doctor and people went ape ****. Thoughts?
