[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 647106, member: 18284"] I understand the comment at the top of the page re: search engines. I have no investment in what abbreviations of words people choose to designate certain identities, events, etc., hence I have no problem switching to whatever people decide they want to use. However, I admit I'm not terribly fond of having my words entered (past, present, future) being altered/changed. That makes them, by definition, not my words....especially as I am not aware we were consulted on the decision to change people's words. I do have an investment in having the freedom to speak my own words. Just putting that out there as it somehow feels a bit like a variation of censorship. That being said, I am very fond of the people and freedom of sharing support, ideas, and experiences together. You are a wonderful group of people and I'm glad to have made your virtual acquaintance! We now return you to your regularly-scheduled programming. :) [/QUOTE]
