Well, I don't know why there's a desire to get audism into dictionaries everywhere. I know what it means and all but I can't understand why a lot of time and energy is being spent on a word that will be abused. Just as the term, racism, has gotten watered down, doesn't have the same impact it used to because of trigger-happy folks. What's wrong with words like discrimination and oppression which are spot on?
