Subject: RE: BS: PC mealtimes
The time-honored(????) PC idea of substituting "person" for "man" in sch words as "chairman", etc., is fatally flawed by internal inconsistency.
PerSON? We get that dreaded maleness intruding its ugly and regrettable head again!
I guess we need to change the second syllable of "person" to "child". Thus we get "chairchild", "perchildhole", "huchildity", all of which afre childifestly ridiculous!
