I don't know what you would say except "gentleperson's" game, and I don't like that! I always cringe when I read something like "peoplekind" or whatever politically correct terms are used to avoid using the word "man". Can I even say "human" without being frowned upon? Maybe its because I'm a man, but I think this kind of language change is almost as ridiculous as the "neutering" of literature that is being discussed over in the "Danger to the written word" thread. (Not that the discussion is ridiculous by any means, just the politically-correct-gone-amuck changes to literature.) I'm curious. How many of you feel that the effort to remove gender from our language is getting ridiculous?
I probably should know better than to post this potentially divisive question right now...but here it is. You can practice your ignoring if you want!
