I don't know that I can let you get away with that. Said in the correct accent - in fact, one of German, Switzerdutch, and most Scandinavian accents, Jussi sounds reasonably masculine to me. In and English accent (particularly Canadian/American) it /may/ sound feminine... but you should never assume that just because in your phonetics, a name sounds feminine, that it is. Indeed, never assume at all that you can guess, because some names which are only female in English may be unisex in other countries, or unisex with slight spelling variations. Shit I hate political correctness, but I adore linguistic debate. Sometimes the two collide and I have a little rant. Apologies to the sensitive. -- [Simon White. vim/mutt/Linux.
