Hi Avy

I think think the key is "it is often said" ... Any UK or US (I expect) bookshop is full of shelves of books on the subject. Have a browse around Amazon.com or your favourite on-line bookshop and you'll find tomes on the subject.

"Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" is looking a bit dog-eared now but has spawned (those fishy words keep coming up!) myriads of sucessors. Add to that a few thousand academic theses and you could be buried in paper for some time.

And the conclusion to all that: "It is often said that men and women use English in different ways".
