I'm on the warpath again (sigh) -- would you lovely people please send me
private e-mail in response to the following question:

When was the last time you heard an *educated* person refer to someone with
Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome) as having "mongolism" or being a "mongol"?

I thought this was an outdated term, but heard it used by a college
psychology professor to his class on Monday, and so am conducting a survey
to see if this is still in current parlance across the country/world.
Thanks for everyone's help on this non-breastfeeding topic.
