We've just had a discussion on whether use of the word blind was
appropriate, and I do not wish to reopen it. However, this sort of
discussion is far more needed in the case of the word dumb, which is
commonly used to mean stupid.

We have a much more precise word to indicate inability to speak, which
is mute. I would urge we use that, instead of dumb.

Thanks,
Arun
