Re: [QUAD-L] Blair Underwood as wheelchair bound cop
Good call Don! It isn't a matter of PC, the terms wheelchair bound and confined to a wheelchair are journalistically incorrect. Anybody that works in media in the U.S. *should* abide by The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual, a book that is the bottom line on countless phrases etc. The AP manual specifically states do not use 'wheelchair bound' or 'confined to a wheelchair'. The correct term is wheelchair user. Bottom line, anytime you see wheelchair bound in a news article, the writer and editer didn't properly proof read, just as bad a spelling errors like have a glass of shampain.

Re: [QUAD-L] Blair Underwood as wheelchair bound cop
I've been watching the commercials for this new fall program and had to wonder as well. Has Blair, once a fine actor, hit bottom? I haven't seen Blair anywhere in the last decade. Is TV Programming going to portray Blair ... as a where that can go anywhere? Last time I watched IronSide, was when Raymond Burr played a lawyer in a manual wheelchair and back then, he had his limits in a courtroom. Should be interesting.
