Authoress...

This thread reminds me of a movie......Much Ado About Nothing.
I guess technically it was a play before it was a movie, but anyway I think you get the idea.

You want to make a movie of this thread, right?

Perhaps we could get Rollin to write it.

It's not like he has any interesting projects he's working on.

I'd like to make it clear that I too don't give a twopenny **** about PC.
However when TEM leaves handy sticks carelessly lying around; it seems a great pity not to give them to Miss Thrashbottom to beat him with.
Of course it had to be tested first!

It sounds funny enough to me, that being rude to women is called 'political correctness' in England.
In Germany it would be a capital offence if you don't use the male and female form in case you are adressing no specific person, but if you adress specifically a woman the female form is a must. And Miss Thrashbottom of course would be Mrs. Thrashbottom for you.
