SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS PLAY. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.25.74.123 (talk) 00:49, 19 May 2009

For a start, the term retarded is considered insulting. To quote from Mental retardation: The term "mental retardation" has itself now acquired some pejorative and shameful connotations over the last few decades due to the use of "retarded" as an insult. Please try to find a better, less insulting, term. Astronaut (talk) 20:10, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The play was written in the eighties and uses the term frequently. 'Retarded' is a medical term, and if some small minded people use it as an insult, they're the ones who need to change. Bkatcher (talk) 20:26, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
