This image displays a line graph charting the frequency of usage for two specific words over time. The background is white with a light gray grid overlay consisting of vertical and horizontal lines.

At the top center, there is a legend identifying the two data series. A blue square corresponds to the word "handicapped," and an orange-red square corresponds to the word "disabled."

The horizontal X-axis at the bottom represents time in years. It begins at 1900 on the left and ends just past 2000 on the right. The major tick marks are labeled every ten years: 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930, 1940, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000.

The vertical Y-axis on the left represents percentage values, ranging from 0.00000% at the bottom to 0.00130% at the top. The labels increment by 0.00010% for each major grid line.

The blue line, representing "handicapped," starts very low in 1900, near 0.0001%. It rises steadily and relatively smoothly over the decades. Around 1925, it crosses above the orange line. The rise continues until it reaches a sharp peak around the year 1980, where it hits its highest point on the chart, slightly above 0.0013%. After this peak, the blue line drops precipitously and continuously through the 1990s and into the early 2000s, ending near the bottom of the graph at roughly 0.0002%.

The orange-red line, representing "disabled," starts higher than the blue line in 1900, around 0.0004%. It fluctuates slightly, dipping to its lowest point around 1940 before beginning a slow rise. Starting around 1970, this line rises sharply, crossing back below the blue line (which is now falling) and then shooting up rapidly. It peaks around 1985 at approximately 0.0011%. From roughly 1990 to 2000, it plateaus near 0.0012% before beginning a slow decline toward the end of the chart.
