Subjekt: Re: I counted over a hundred in a quick survey of posts by Jules. He'll have a hundred excuses for his use of the word "she" but still, he (opps) used the same word to which he is now objecting.

Now you can twist that all you like, but it ain't gonna change 100's of years of English language use and the rules thereof.
