"retard" is a perfectly neutral word. It means "slow to learn". Most people are "retarded" in some areas of necessary operation. I call myself a "techtard" as a made-up label because, while I can ultimately grasp technical details and execution, I am much slower than most others. People who are mentally retarded will be able to learn the skill they are working on, "disabled" people cannot (or refuse to) learn.
