"That's what I meant to say"
Use "People First Language" when referring to someone's medical or temporary condition.

"People with disabilities" describes what a person has, while "disabled people" describes who a person is. We are not our disabilities, so put the person first!
"Patty is phenomenal.  With mere introductory words from me and a few pictures she was able to create a website that not only fit my needs but reflected me in such a way that it appeared she knew me personally. She moved so quickly on the project that I had to catch up with her.  I sent preliminary information one day and by the following day the site was up.  She instinctively conceptualized what I would never have been able to articulate and delivered beyond my expectations."

- Judge Cheryl Lee Shannon, Dallas, TX

"It’s wonderful working with Patty because she knows exactly how to put the words together to get the message across. She’s also so easy to work with – she’s very accessible and flexible, and making changes is never a problem. She helped us create a website and a marketing postcard and email that have increased our visibility and our business. We definitely will be using WordSmooth for our ongoing communications needs."

What Is Communication?

"The two words 'information' and 'communication' are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through."
