O.K. folks. I got the poll results back, and by what one might have
expected, they were all pro woman. However, only one person replying
said that she could deal with being called a girl(she did say she
preferred woman.) Every one else expressed a strong preference for woman
and an even stronger dislike for girl. (Under no circumstances, be they
humourous or not, should one use the term 'gal'. You will probably be
flamed to a nice crispy crunch). This has opened my eyes, and I
apologize for any slips of the fingers I may have made in the past. To
all men who insist on using offensive terms for women (I suppose this
goes in reverse too) please try to control yourselves and make the world
a nicer place to live in.
			Have a good day-
