I took the article to speak to a general work ethic and didn't think twice about the gender reference. I'm a bit old-school in that regard. Gender references don't affect me much. Nor am I offended by the desire to have a man fill a position, though that's no longer considered appropriate. I'm actually a bit annoyed by the modern abandonment in written works of the universal "him" & "man" when speaking of mankind in general (saying "him or her" all the time is tiresome). I generally assume "man" to mean mankind. Aren't you glad you asked?<BR/><BR/>Jeri,<BR/>I wish it meant that. I'm slow as mud these days. And I prefer not to tackle projects like that at night. So the evening is when I do book stuff, usually. I am hoping to have it done by Thanksgiving, or at the very latest, Christmas.Laurie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15840896949617719814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441908040982501903.post-73342807725573836512008-11-08T09:33:00.000-08:002008-11-08T09:33:00.000-08:00That's funny, andy c!
