[HQ Ignorance] Hero Points!

[Sam Elliot]

Good grief! It's the bloody language police.

Again.

Soren, can you activate your Judge bloke please and do something about this
perp ;-)

In common usage, in England, it does. Loran's not in England, but if he were
to speak to English people in England, they'd think he was referring to a
bloke, for what it's worth. He understood Icthya to be a bloke, he used "he"
at some point.

Please don't snipe at my English from the sidelines, Philip. Just go away.

Please.

Thank you.

Sam.

p.s. Lev, if this guy is lurking and is going to jump in and criticize my
English, I am going to feel very uncomfortable posting here. I already do
now. I can explain off list if you like.

  Sam,



  >>...BTW Loran, you've been using masculine words to describe her -
"fellow" etc.



  In English, the word "fellow" does not carry a gender - that is a common
misconception.   It is certainly NOT masculine.   I'd be interested in any
example you might be able to find where it has been used as definitively
masculine.



  Regards,



  Philip
