Remedial? I'm emphasizing their general lack of skill. It's insulting. Using it in this way, I don't specify any need to improve upon any particular thing(s). Instead, I'll simply call anyone that I am insulting remedial, as if to say they need to improve in everything.
However, I realize the context I use it in is not the common usage, but if I didn't explain it you may not understand why I use it this way.
It sure sounds better than using 'retarded' all the time. =D

I would not call your usage uncommon. I would call it incorrect. By calling somthing remedial you state that it is a corrective act, as opposed to being in need of one. Much like i could not call my typing skill remedial since it doesn't actually help with anything. More appropriately it is baneful.

Therefore you might need a remedial typing class to correct your appropriately baneful typing skills. :) I'm thoroughly enjoying this discussion.
