Proprietor

I don't care about the proprietress issue; my dictionary doesn't define proprietor in terms of gender. However, it DOES define a proprietor as "the owner of a business establishment; a person who has exclusive right or title to something; an owner, as of real property...." Hmm, are you making money from the SI Grammar & Spelling Lab? Do you claim exclusive ownership of it?

Hmmm.
