'she' is 50% longer than he, and should never be used (except maybe on specific females) because it is less efficient. The last thing we need in these hectic times is bogged-down communication arteries! ;-/ P.S. Do german males get upset that formal personal pronouns match the female pronoun?

Personally, I think that every living man and woman should be called either gay or lesbian or bi. Lesbians are those men or women attracted to women, gays those attracted to men, and bi both. How's that for economy? ;^) Paul

Well, there you have it. Now there is just a three sexes again, all with some interest. Hmmm – what about hermits with no interests? Can't be prejudiced at leave them out, even if they want to be left out. Hank Videology, Inc Where you always get P.O.M.P. and Service under all circumstances

OK, so there are gays, lesbians, bis, and as, as in asexuals. <G> Paul

Well Paul, it looks like you've covered them all. But we really need a better short name for asexuals than 'as', don't you think? Hank Videology, Inc Where you always get P.O.M.P. and Service under all circumstances

Well, we could pronounce it aze, following the convention of bize, I guess. <G> Other than that, I don't know. Btw, I should have the video transfer done soon! Paul
