Readers of James White's Sector General stories would appreciate the nomination of "it" and derivatives in place of "they".
Interestingly, I gather that one of the reasons for the use of third person plural in place of third person singular (which would be far more acceptable) is the implication in the use of the third person singular of androgeny. "I know someone who would post to IShotMyself if it were not embarrassed about its figure" makes the person in question sound androgenous. So instead we get the strange construction: "I know someone who would post to IShotMyself if they were not embarrassed about their figure". See what I mean?
I was amused by an article I read once that suggested the replacement of "man" could go too far. After all, replacing "man" with "woman" in "woman" produces "wowoman", which then becomes "wowowoman", and then we get told off for stuttering...

Ah, you're a Brissy boy!

(And as flattering as it was to be listed next to ISM goddesses Zille and McKenzie, I'm afraid I'm just a forum pleb, and not an ISM girlie at all...)

Aw, come on Kitty..... Surely there MUST be SOMETHING in the shoebox in the closet. How about that naked Toga party in college..... or the week spent at Burning Man in the blistering Nevada desert.... or the time you jumped in the swimming pool full of spaghetti......? Surely there must be something from your checkered past that you could share. ....Although the pelvic exam is pretty spicy....

As Danny Glover would say, I'm too old for that shit. And when I was in my wild youth, I was too busy evading the police to be documenting the process *S*

Pelvic exam is it, I'm afraid.

I noticed that! There's a lot of Cat/Catt/Kats in the world these days, so things can get a wee bit confusing. However I'm sure that if I did happen to post a folio on ISM, you'd all be well aware of it. I just might break the Internet.

(And no, I am not a virus)

Thanks, lovely. It's spanking to interact with such pleasant and fun folk in the forums.

Oi! Hi there! Do you happen to know of a song Sleepytime Gorilla Museum did based on (my favourite) comic artist, Al Columbia? I've been trying to find out about it/track it down everywhere (I've currently only heard SGM's Sleep Is Wrong...)

I was tempted to respond in your stead for this one, as I feel bad this issue has to keep recurring for you. As poilite and flattering as people are, it must get tireing.

Ahh, it'll happen now and then. It doesn't bother me so much, as I'm not one to succumb to peer pressure. Just because I'm female and posting on the forums, doesn't mean I'm suddenly obliged to get nude. *S*

But you're a sweetheart, nonetheless.
