Well, I checked my AS wordhoard and it sez hær is neuter, just like it is in German. course this is a little irrelevant cuz I think we stopped worrying about such thangs (mostly) by the time blond made it in to the lexicon. As an aside, I did a little digging and found a site for Blond from Birth that has some rants and raves about the prejudice against blonds and how it is perpetuated by brunettes trying to pass themselves off as blonds. There are a bunch of essays that seem to be fairly noncommital about the blond/blonde controversey, although one does seem to use blond as an adjective and blonde as a noun (or is it the other way round?). You could look it up. Google "blond" and don't pay it no never mind when it asks if you wanted to google "blonde". Go to the first English language site and root around (unless you're Aussie, in which case you'd have better luck doing something else even if rooting around was more fun).
