In the Old Days, they addressed everyone as "man," when "man" meant any member of the human race and the word for a male human was "were"-- a descendant of the same indo-euro root we get the word "virile" from and, more directly, we see in "werewolf." If we went to the old Anglo-Saxon usage, it would be completely politically correct to address any communicant as "man."<BR/><BR/>Regardless, it was cool to be named "Woman" for the day.Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01687973133021607701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805703.post-1519661113430003002007-02-23T17:55:00.000-08:002007-02-23T17:55:00.000-08:00Beautiful!
