In case it's not already obvious, I request we retire the thread about "their" and "PC" and feminism, etcetera.
Sheesh! What a sad argument! No, the issues being raised are not silly in themselves, but to let it escalate to the point where people are feeling insulted, defensive, or abused, and dragging politics in, to boot... Oh my! <shaking head> Every day we intereact with people we don't agree with, or who use language incorrectly. Seldom do we raise the issue, in the interest of getting along and not hurting their feelings. Let's do the same here in e-mail. So, please... 1) Only correct grammar or spelling privately, if at all. (Which implies that you know *how* to send a private reply!) 2) Refrain from throwing around political labels -- politically correct/incorrect, radical feminist, etc. 3) Treat people here as if you care about their feelings, even if maybe you don't. And, yes, please format your text so it is legible and clear. And if it doesn't come through the way you meant to send it, try to learn from your mistakes. However, *do* learn how to send text-only e-mail if you can. There's seldom anything we say that *needs* fancy fonts and formatting enough to justify the bandwidth bloat. And there are so many different platforms and programs that compatibility is a long way off, still. Lastly, understand that it'll take another day for the thread to die out as folks get caught up with their e-mail and finally see this message. So don't jump on anybody? I'd have called it sooner, folks, but, c'mon, I spent yesterday at the zoo with my family. A good time was had by all, but there was no time to read e-mail. So let's be good to each other, okay?
