      I rememeber when an unnamed member of this board used to insist everyone use the word, "womyn" and claimed that this wasn't corny

          Well, we are in a digital domain.

          Bytes are pretty tiny. Would romantic emails, then, be love bytes?

              Only if one ASCII character means something to you.

              Or 1010 1101 is a romantic statement. :P

              Morelike "Love Kilobytes" or "Megabytes" to be pedantic.

                Oh, Tsar, it's not how large your message is in bytes, it's how you use those bytes.

                Besides, 1 is very clearly a probe, and 0 is very clearly a dock.

                They're perfect, binary mates.

                  The word "man" itself is just an idiosyncrasy of modern English. In Saxon times, a man was a "waeman" and a woman was a "wifman".

                      even if you change the spelling we all know that you are referring to the subordinate woman who should be barefoot and pregnant and fellatiating me.

                          And a furry was a "yiffman"?

                              Sexism aside, this is the real problem with PC word-swapping. The new term for people very quickly takes up the negative connotations of the old. The negative connotations are attatched to the subject, not the noun.
