Yes, i know, you were just using the label the way the pointy-heads use it. But we shouldn't let them get away with it, it is a misuse of the word as originally coined. Not that i'm into etymological correctness or anything, e.g. i refuse to use the word 'fisher', it is perfectly adequate imho to use the adjective 'lady' to modify 'fisherman' when appropriate.

Just goofing around with our favourite wsp critic ... I'm sure he's seen The Light .... they say there's one in Moose Jaw now -g-
