m.n.muench, >>>>>>There is really no point to what I am saying. I have no defense for this. I'm just rambling on about something that no one else may have any interest in.<<<<<< But there is a point and you state it well. The development of language reflects the reality we live. Or we might turn it around and say the poverty of our language reflects the poverty of our reality. Or the relationship between our "reality" and "Reality" is in direct porportion to the relationship of our language to the language of silence. regards, ghunk

Meunch, I am compelled to respond to the non-gender issue. Cannot begin to explain to you what the "......person" era did to me psychologically. Like....mailPERSON. And spokesPERSON and Dear PERSON. And snowPERSON. What about woPERSON and PERSON rather than woman and man. Someone did not do their homeword to rid the english language of gender inuendo, with the main pronouns still in use in many mainstream publications.. I could say more, but best not. There are two sexes, and it will always be so. To cave in to those who desire that most of us ignore this fact is madness.
