David, You may not be sure, but I am. Definitely female. Which would probably explain why I hate Miss, Mrs and Ms, but I do see how things can get confusing when I insist on Mr. Believe me, no one who sees me doubts my gender, which is why so many people refuse to call me Mr. So, with me not answering to Miss, Ms or Mrs, and most people refusing to call me Mr, I end up being called Lise and Lise-Aurore a lot. Which is actually quite fine with me.
And, in case you are wondering, both Lise and Aurore are feminine names in French. Now you have me wondering. If I dressed differently, and had really short hair, could I pass myself off as a man .... Hum, would be difficult, what would I do with that chest .... Worth a chuckle!!! And I'm just kidding. I am female, and have no intention of hiding it. Lise-Aurore In beautiful sunny, 22C Ottawa. Glorious day!!! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David in Ballarat Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 12:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [lace-chat] Names and titles >Dear Lise-Aurore, >And then, there's the usage in French, where I am referred to as Madame >le docteur.

Having read your complicated email, I now really have no idea what gender you are. I had always assumed you were female, but now am not so sure. I really don't care anyway! To me you're just another lace-maker :) who probably walks on 2 legs and writes English at least.
