    DD, I didn't say it affected how they address each other, I was referring to the rules package. That's why I posted the direct wording.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    Gotcha.

    Sorry if I came down hard.

    Yes... the package uses gender neutral terms.

    The Office of the Whistleblower Ombudsman, for instance, is renamed in the rules to the "Office of the Whistleblower Ombuds."


    I hate that shit too...

    Hell I have a family member I refer to as "they"...

    But the bill doesn't say that that everyone has to call a fireman a fireperson.

    People can write packages however they want.
    It's America.

    So sorry in misreading your intent.

    No problem, man. It's a discussion. Disagreement doesn't equate to dislike in my book.

    Seriously?!?!?!?

    Everyone is using just one word and YOU insist on being referred to with 3?!!?!?!

    Maybe we can compromise and call you Themightyit... think it changes the pronunciation though...
