No lawsuits. But given the context of your post, I don't think it was obvious that there was a typo there.

Just for the record, I will ALWAYS respond if someone says/posts/sings "All children are gifted." Take it as a given. Roll your eyes if you must, but it should not come as a surprise.

It's fine to dislike the term "gifted." That's opinion. You're absolutely entitled to your opinion. I'll back you 100% on that.

However, it's not fine to say that all children are gifted. That's just plain incorrect, *especially* in this *particular* context of a forum for parents of gifted kids. If nothing else, WE'RE defining the term and using it very precisely!
