Hi Whitman

An obvious, for me, citation, is one in which I still respect the gender differences (though I'm not sure about popular use): the person to whom you are engaged to be married.

As I understand it, a man is you fiance, a woman is your fiancee (I can't do the accents, but assume them?)

Any of our more erudite members have a comment on this? Perhaps I've been getting it wrong all this while...

And yes, hello to everybody - sorry I've been away this while and not responding to e-mails etc - have been, as they used to say, rusticating (at least metaphorically).

cheer
