Tell that to anyone in the aviation industry and you'll get a chuckle and a couple of "bless your heart"s.

entirely different word and we both know it

Try telling that to a text filter or a moderator on a power trip. They won't give a rat's ass about "to retard" meaning "to reduce or hold back." Even the linked article fails to make the semantic distinction when it calls for the elimination of the word.

If this comment disappears, it will have proven my point.
