This Monday, the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) has eliminated the term 'disabled' from the section of synonyms or related to 'disabled', following the constitutional reform of article 49 on January 25 in the Magna Carta.
"After the reform of the Constitution, the Academy has reviewed the synonyms and related words of the words handicapped and disabled to avoid confusion," sources from the Royal Spanish Academy informed EFE.
Currently, the RAE dictionary defines the word handicapped as "who has lost strength or abilities, or has them to a lesser degree than normal." From now on, in the synonyms or related section, the terms reduced, shrunken appear. That is, only referring to the size.
The RAE thus joins the elimination of this word from our vocabulary to refer to people, and that on January 25 it was banished from the Magna Carta in the plenary session of the Senate with the support of all political groups, except that of Vox.
