Re: "I am not your label"

[(Anonymous)]

I copy edit for a newspaper, and you would not believe how many sentences I've had to completely rewrite to get "wheelchair-bound" out of them. Read your AP stylebook, reporters! Ditto "the needy."

Re: "I am not your label"

[(Anonymous)]

That...might depend on where you are? [The needy bit, I mean, not the wheelchair bit]. Reporters here use "the needy" in certain types of stories because it does get across a lot more than most other words. [Ex. Organization X helps needy women/men/whatever group with problem Y.]

Re: "I am not your label"

[(Anonymous)]

That's how reporters end up using needy here (US), too, but it's part of my job to recognize the unfortunate connotations "needy" has. There's absolutely no reason the sentence above couldn't say "Organization X helps women/men/whatever group with problem Y."
