Tomatoes for a Prospective Affiliate

I have been working recently with a travel company that wants to be an affiliate of Accessible Chicago. I asked the salesperson via email whether or not he had travel destinations that catered to those with disabilities, and he said "Yes" we do, and he pointed me to a link page that read as follows:Travel for HandicapsWhere the commitment is to enable the disabled, nothing is impossible. Choose from the tours below the experience you dream to live. Even if it’s diving, you can still do it. Enjoy life to the fullest with us!I was shocked that anyone would still use the derogatory term: "Handicaps", and even the second sentance is pretty condescending, but I let that slide in my reply below: Ryan, I am glad to see that you are offering incentives for those with disabilities. I want  to let you know  that the term: "Travel for Handicaps" is extremely insulting to "those with disabilities" which is the correct term. Also, you have a typo on the page which I underlined for you below. Fix the handicap terminology, and then I would be interested in doing an affiliation or at least a link exchange. CatherineWas I just being a stickler or was anyone else offended as well?
