There is no Mr. Shattan. I'm not married, and even if I were, I wouldn't insist that my husband take my last name. GRRRRRR! Also, I was responding to a pet peeve (why should I be any different?). The fact that the program made an incorrect translation shows lack of knowledge on the programmer's part. I've seen the term "personufacturing" many times, often used by people tring to be cutsey about the gender-in-language issue. I was responding to the use of this term that I've seen on the net. O.K.?
