    Why does "posslq" imply an amorous relationship?   That's something
too abstract for the Census Bureau to handle, and none of their business
anyway.   My sister is one of my roommates.  We are therefore persons
of opposite sex sharing living quarters, but are we "posslq"s?  What is
the plural of "posslq", anyway?
