I can't even describe the stomach pain that this evokes in me.
If there are people incapable of distinguishing between an adjective and a noun, should the rest of us destroy the cadence and clarity of our language to accommodate them?
Adjectives precede nouns because the grammar of our language dictates that descriptors come before the objects they describe. Interpreting this as some kind of hierarchical code seems a stretch.
The fact that this seems most prevalent in education is not surprising in the least.
Even more amusingly, there seems to be a struggle between two theories of disability that is being carried out partly in the use of person first or person second language. Partisans, march on.
