	Single:  unmarried (currently unmarried, I suppose, as the term
divorcee is now archaic)

	nominally Single:  unmarried but enjoying a close relationship with
an SO (possibly living together but with at least two abodes)

	POSSLQ:  Census Bureau acronym for Person of Opposite Sex Sharing
Living Quarters

	Isnt this complicated?
