Notice that I am talking about dialects, and not the institution
of proper titles (although certain titles for jobs that originated
here, such as "cowboy" certainly had their roots in a male dominated
profession; also note that "cowgirl" has been perfectly acceptable
for years, too).  To put it another way, the way people reference 
others in their natural speech patterns in one part of the U.S. as
opposed to another.

                                clear as glass,
