It's a word that is many times used incorrectly and today marks the day where people are standing up to stop the use of the word "retarded."

The "spread the Word to End the Word" campaign kicks off today.

People are asked to change their vocabulary and stop using the word "retarded" to dehumanize people with intellectual abilities.

It's in common, everyday conversation when the word is used incorrectly. People are asked to sign the petition to stop using the word, here at http://www.r-word.org
