Why blind George? you know the word blind caries a very wider meaning such
as, you could be blind by eyes, blind by mind, blind by thought and so on,
the correct term should be people with vision impairment because that
correctly reflects the exact meaning!

Hi All,
In many places I have heard people refer to persons without sight as "A
Blind". Collectively such people are often called "Blinds".
Are people who cannot see a separate species like Tiger, Man, Blind, Lion,
Donkey and so on?
This is my personal view as a communicator that people without sight must
be
referred to as Blind person or as blind people and not as a blind.
Please note that this mail is not a personal attack on any individual. I
thought I would take the liberty of pointing out this commonly made error.
With best regards,
George
