Using "creature" instead of "man" or "person" in words such as
"chairman - chairperson - chaircreature" might pacify those
who dislike sexism and anthropocentricity.  However, a "creature"
is something that has been created, thus implying the existence
of a Creator.  Now the atheists and agnostics are unhappy.
