Message-ID: <456@alberta.UUCP> Date: Fri, 16-Sep-83 02:14:13 EDT Article-I.D.: alberta.456 Posted: Fri Sep 16 02:14:13 1983 Date-Received: Sun, 11-Sep-83 16:09:15 EDT Organization: U. of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada Lines: 10 How about returning MAN to its gender-generic roots and using a work like HIMAN to specify an explicitly male man. I have a much easier time adding one word to my vocabulary than I do changing hundreds of others. Besides -- MAN is one one syllable and PERSON is two (BOY am I LAZY). Stephen Samuel (alberta!stephen)
