Rayna,
Thanks, but I am not the gospel and I am certainly not politically
correct. However teaching at the university level and having been married for
going on 38 years, I know a little. By the way, "down under" you use "blokes"
and what else?
Aussies use `mate'. And I HATE that. I always get it because people
can't seem to work out whether or not I'm male or female. This
despite the fact that I very definitly have a feminine figure (I know
I'm asking for trouble mentioning that on the list!), I've even been
called `sir', several times, twice in my first semester at university
- and people told me I'd find a more intelligent group of people
there! Aussies also use `cobber', `sheila', etc. On reflection, I
think I'd rather be called `honey' or `sugar' <sheepish grin>
Rayn
