'Buy a Dictionary' Awareness Campaign by Alison Rowan
“That’s so gay” and “That’s so retarded” are two phrases we hear much too often. This project aims to discourage the use of phrases that support stigmas such as these by encouraging individuals to reconsider what they mean to express and how they can more effectively do so.
