I'm glad someone brought up the fact that genderless pronouns really don't
help women with the everyday problems we face.  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.
