For those interested in gender free contra dance terms:
1. Do you like or dislike jets / rubies ?
Like. (I'm responding on personal preference alone; I'm aware of some
objections to this, which I don't personally share.)
2. How would gems / rubies compare?
Less good, because the soft "ms" would make the call less clear. Also,
rubies _are_ gems, so this is confusing.
Ditto all this.
Me too. I haven't yet tried calling with the jets and rubies
terminology, though I've used bands/bares and larks/ravens. I can't say
I'm eager to add yet another set of translated cards to my files.
