Carol,

I suspect you are missing my grammerical point. Which would you say, the "Leader of the Democratics; or the Leader of the Democrats", as opposed to the infinitely consistant "Leader of the Rupublicans".

Such consistancies being the hobgoblin of little minds ;)

But I would like someone who has access to something like the rabid left Washington Post, and for some sense of balance, the WSJ, style books for the PC usage of the words.
