Well like too many people, he is putting the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLABle
in the word Morseman. He seems to choose to ignore that the correct suffix
for a group of humans is -man. Instead he chooses to confuse it with the
gender specific version of the word man. Actually the oldest meaning of the
word "man" is human. Females were "women" and males were "wermen."
Overtime, the prefix for the males was dropped and the single word "man" was
used for both the human race and the male of the species. I think we ought
to resurrect the prefix for the males so that the liberals don't continue
this confusion.


In CW nobody can HEAR your gender.

In here we can hear you scream... :-)

Get out your nun's habit and brandish the ruler, Mama Dee. Lots of
seven-year-old amateur extras in here need "correction." :-)

Be nice to the gunnery nurse or he will call you "scum" and "putz"
and make you get down and give you ten! [in the USMC way, of
course...]
