Gee, I would have thought the artistic
folks on this list would appreciate a little language enhancement, if only to
serve the purpose of my personal whims. Isn’t that what art is, anyway?!
Ya know???
It has nothing to do with necessity at all. Besides, now, let’s define what the “English”
language is anyways…
it aint’ American or Canadian either… technically…

I guess that cute-sy feminizing ending would be
necessary, IF the definition of 'FAN' was: "a Male that is an avid
follower of an artform or artist..." but I don't see that in any of
the dictionaries I have looked in.
Sometimes the habit of adding gender denoting endings
to words aids in the destruction of the language, along with peoples
hypersensitivity to real words that have been taken on in slang to represent
acts or anatomical parts of humans, or used to demean others, which just won't
do, words such as Dick, Cock, Ass, Uranus, (myanus), Dickie, Cougar, Hamster,
Chick, his/her, dumb, Blind, Fat, Short, Crap, Retarded.......
Let's all try to reinstate the beautiful colour of the
english language, and restore it to the level it used to be. none of this
word 'LITE' crap
To each his own,
Thanks,

I guess it is naff slang like 'biker' and 'bikeret......male and female
possibilites of a word. Perhaps it is an 'English' thing??
