Oh. [**wipes her mouth, smiles**] Thanks...

We'll just have to disagree on the point of whether or not it is up to the current generation (who I understand to mean "those alive today" and not those who are in their early 20's or teens). Those who inherit the Earth can do what they want with language, as I see it. If we never broke tradition we'd grow stagnant. > a country should never be referred to as an "it"... it is most definitely a > "she"... How do you figure that it most definitely is a "she"? Heck, I'm Pagan and believe in the planet being a She due to Her life-giving, but a country? A car? A computer? I don't see the point in giving those things sexes. *That* makes it confusing! > so why must English suddenly become politically correct because you, your > mother and a couple of thousand other feminists suddenly consider these > conventions degrading to women??? Because it isn't all that hard to make it more fair and why keep social degradation on hand when it is unnecessary? I'll kneel to what's fair before tradition any day. But that is me. > it is an over reaction... and it strips meaning from English... I don't see how it does so. -TAL
