Re: few questions for the RAT PACK



Actually Senor Skipworthy, I am aware of the grammatical correctness of using 
"he" in the manner that you did.  I am sure that everyone applauds your 
marriage to the rulebook, as well as your clever grasp of the English 
language.
  However, *I* don't feel that "he" describes me, and I don't feel that the 
word will ever evoke any image from a reader other than the image of a man.  
Does "she" describe you?  If the rules were reversed, what would men think 
about using the feminine pronoun as a default?
