I was watching a video from Technology Connections, about electric cars and the need to rethink their brake lights. He showed a document from the EU about regulations about car braking. In that document, the words ‘retardation’ and ‘retarding’ were both used, referencing braking. Pretty sure someone from America, if they were to see that, would be assuming ‘retardation’ is like a disease inflicted onto normal people and ‘retarding’ would be the transforming state into being a complete retard.

This is why we can’t have nice things.
