Your papaya sure was raisin you right (on the Isle of Wight?). You make some berry grape jokes. Avocado more?
Orange you glad I lime you?
Cherry-o,
Your loving niece

Avocado more? No, I'm out of stock - I work on a juiced in time delivery system.

> but then I recalled my encouragement to Avy to celebrate his own unique English,
Her! her! her!
- I never realised a "shona" had been happening to me too.

Avy, I'm sorry I didn't catch that. How could anybody not
know you're a female? That's a new one on me!

In reply to:

I am so sorry! I have just read through all your posts, hoping to get a clear sign from one of the posts you made prior to my blundering in here, but nothing I read in any of your fifty-seven posts listed gave me an unequivocal answer. This, of course, means that I have been guilty of the most base phallocentrism, for which I crave your indulgence. What makes it worse is that my misconception may have been coloured by cultural stereotyping as well - a perception of India as a very male-dominated society. After a gaffe like that, I think it's time for me make my quietus.

After a gaffe like that ...
It's inevitable that we will get people's gender wrong as we have no way of knowing from the personal biogs (I'll just nip off and check that) - perhaps we should have a line which says "preferred personal pronoun". In RhubarbCommando's case we would need to include the option "it". I wonder if we really do add or subtract fromthe board by not knowing - perhaps we should wander over to poster sex if we want to continue this discussion.

Avy
My apologies too - I always assumed you were male. I have an excuse, though: all the Avys/Avis I knew in India were male. Oooops.

Her! her! her!…Avy, did anyone tell you that you have a lovely laugh?  And is ‘to shona’ (bless you!) going to get adopted like Max’s ‘claytons’? If so, I propose that it defines: the state of being shemailed when posting to a socially ambiguous board. Ps: I thought the aside to which I responded hello s'ayleur had sorted out the Lancaster question

Max don't worry about it! ... my profile isn't very helpful either. So I have changed it. It has now become the window to my soul. :)
