Penni,

OK, I get the point! But remember some of the feminists were seriously upset about the word "his-tory". They didn't get that changed, but we do have them to thank for all those ridiculous "-person" suffixes. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't mind natural changes in language. I can adapt. But it really irritates me to change language for political reasons. I guess Orwell made a big impression on me.
