I don't know if you misinterpreted but I meant that "disabled" doesn't tell you everything about a persons ableness across all functions that a human can do. Eg. one disabled person is able to drive a car, and this other disabled person (your mom, sorry I had to do this) can't.
This is obvious ofc but my comment was about the OP stating that OMGWOKENESS, eg. saying "differently abled" is a language/semantic excercise that somehow takes us further away from reality and therefore is worse than using the traditional "disabled". In other words, using "differently abled" (with regard to the normal functions a human is able to do) doesn't hide any reality that "disabled" shows. IMHO.
Edit: Disclaimer: I haven't watched Carlin in a long time, didn't rewatch this bit now either so I'm arguing from my "I love him but sometimes he's a dick and othertimes he's wrong" view of him.
