Law of "Mobility"!?
I resist this phrase. It smacks of callow political correctness. It also
shows creeping latinization of language. In other words, it has no
emotional guts.
Have you found otherwise-abled folks who have expressly stated their
objection? If so, fine, change it, but if not, why do so?
I always say something like, "the law of two feet ...(short pause) or
equivalent for those who may be otherwise abled, and I say this even when
their are no such otherwise-abled folks in the room.
And to tell you the truth, I feel very proper and fair when I say this, and
a little bit cowardly.
