When you see the word "chairman", do you sometimes get confused into thinking that it might be someone in a wheelchair?

Wouldn't a better name for that hero be "Chair-man"?

why would anyone associate chairman with a person in wheelchair?

when i hear chairman, i think of power and money

[camzie]

Just with a man in a wheelchair.

A woman in a wheelchair would be "chairwoman".

I think of a management person.

those people are called physically disabled or injured

im guessing usually it would be people that dont know about corporate structures that would get confused by the term chairman

Moron without pimples, I'd have thought... and possibly also in a wheelchair.
