That's why I put the smiley face. You know there's a good reason for gender inclusive language, too -- they did these studies where they asked little kids if they could grow up to be a ________ (fill in the blank) and little girls really did say no when asked if they could be a mailman and yes when asked if they could be a mail carrier. Language matters. I know you know, dearie. :-)
Peace.
