1. Jim has a hair disadvantage, meaning [STRIKE]means [/STRIKE]he's bald.
2. May has an eye disadvantage, meaning [STRIKE]means [/STRIKE]she has poor vision.
Are they correct?
The two sentences do not work at all. We do dot speak of a 'hair disadvantage' or 'eye disadvantage'.
I think most people would simply say:
Jim is bald.
May has poor vision/is shortsighted/is partially sighted.
I do.
The sentences would still not be naural.
"Disadvantage" is not normally used that way, but I don't think it is wrong.
Is there another way to express someone is bald? The reason I ask this question because someone may see it offensive of being called "bald".
I do.
The sentences would still not be naural.
He has a hair problem.
Why is the sentence not natural?
Most people who are bald are not completely bald but do have some hair on them, don't they?
