It's not any of our jobs to educate you.

I work in an accessibility-focused field and can say person-first verbiage is more important for those with visible/ serious conditions that society tends to focus on over them as a person.

The spirit is that you view them as a person, instead of a their condition. It might seem obvious, but imagine you have a very visible physical disability. People are always talking about your condition, asking you about it, it's the first thing people focus on when they meet you. As a person, you don't want your condition to define who you are. As an example, if you worked really hard to win a major award, would you prefer the headline "First Name Last Name Wins Award", or "Severely Autistic Person Wins Award"?

It's fairly nuanced, and within some groups (such as ASD) there is actually pushback against person-first. But then there's people that it really helps so it's more of a "just be chill and not a dick about things" kind of vibe. Kind of like pronouns where some people make a huge fuss whenever they're mentioned. In reality, it's more about just treating people with respect as well as not walking on eggshells around everyone.

That's why I always go for the parry, disarming the doctor and asserting my dominance.

For situations like this, I suggest blissful ignorance.

I feel like using it on the first date is actually better, as a form of litmus test to find out of your date is trash (bad).

Another lazy iteration of a yearly sports game with massive glaring issues? Colour me shocked, surprised, and astonished.

I didn't see this addressed anywhere so I'm not sure if I should be saving them or not since I'm at max credits.
