| Wayman, between parts 1 and 2, Theatermania accepted that the verb “handicap” is offensive to some people, and switched to “predicting” for this article. I might suggest you consider making the same change going forward. | |

| We're not going to have many words left...isn't there a point at which we acknowledge that some of them genuinely have multiple unrelated meanings, and that every usage isn't necessarily offensive? Especially in a case like this, where the "weighting chances in a race" meaning far predates the other? | |

| Manager-561, I took the cue from TheaterMania, which initially called this series ''Handicapping the Tonys.'' But thanks for your suggestion. Will do! | |
