I believe "aargh" is the appropriate phrase here. It is getting really really annoying to see a singular female person referred to as "a women." "Women" is the plural, "woman" is the singular. As for toher things, I forget who said it, but someone commented on something I had noticed but not brought up. That was the fact that everyone is now complaining about stores not being open late, when this situation is changing. Why is it that so often people seem to suddenly take notice of a problem and complain about it (and maybe even try to fix it) when it is being fixed, but not before? This is not true all the time, but it seems to be fairly common. I've experienced the same sort of thing at other times....for example, I start to make my bed and find myself cleaning the whole house. Is it just that starting work on something is harder than continuing work on it? Muffy
