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. Isnt that what art is, anyway?!
Ya know??? It has nothing to do with
necessity at all. Besides, now, lets 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
Thanks,
All your gymnastics grip needs right here!

Yes, from Texas I also add ette to the end of various words to feminize them.
I guess it is naff slang like 'biker' and 'bikeret......male and female possibilites of a word. Perhaps it is an 'English' thing??
I cannot think of a better way to explain - do you understand now L??
Ps...thanks for the greeting from Canada!
