>As for English, several years ago, the UK tried to outlaw any job description that indicated gender. For example, postman became Postperson. They had to backtrack on the law when someone pointed out that the Queen would become the Throneperson.

And what is so bad about that? <g>
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
