Let's get back to discussing things relevant to working women (and non-working too) rather than trying to discuss which letter salutation we should use to be non-offending. I have received enough phone calls from solicitors asking for the man of the house (if they deal with investments, etc.) that I get really tired of it (by the way, I own my own house and run my own small business on the side), but to me there are more important things than genderless pronouns that need to be changed first - such as general attitudes of society. The little details can wait till later.
