So ... dig out the Cassell's dictionary and would ya believe you have it -- AND the entry has a suitable masculine adjectival example. Somehow that got sideways in my memory and since all those were buried in boxes for a few decades, and hardly in daily use, I got it stuck in my head wrong.
Nope. Adjectives agree in case, number, and gender. Parva nauta (the small sailor), not parvus nauta; or bona agricula (the good farmer), for instance.
What you ought to have said is that people come in sexes of which there are exactly two, and gender is just language (and in Latin there are three). Romans werent trying to imply every farmer is a girl :)
Did you get this from the OED or from your ass? The Old English for 'woman' is wyf. "Woman" is not a word in Old English.
Well, except before embarking on a journey of entitlement Hamilton had and has a ton of talent and determination ... which he has now trashed despite 7 titles by spending the last few years whining and demanding (and mostly getting) privilege in equipment, team order, and stewards' calls on account of his skin.
It's really worse, because unlike a Danica or a Bubba, he could've soldiered on, won probably equal accords, and been a hero for the ages, and will now be seen (mostly privately) as that guy who played the race card to win.
In Latin, the nouns for certain professions are female. Poeta, nauta (poet, sailor), for instance.
FYI the real manual has no such BS -- happened to have the box in easy reach (don't ask). "Alignment - describes your character's outlook toward the world, and his general ethical status. The possibilities are GOOD, NEUTRAL, or EVIL." ...
There's not a hint of a whisper of caring whether you conceive of your characters as male, female, or two-dimensional bags of hitpoints and statistics.
Never miss an opportunity to point out that males never got a pronoun of their own -- 'he' means anyone, but 'she' only means females -- and so the gender pronoun people are the real sexists.
Paul Harrell is in trouble. Hickok45 is probably indifferent but hopefully they all find Gab or Rumble or whatever.
There's a problem ... the header says '5 years' for the fake person, but the rest of the resume has experience going back 12 years. Guess what the auto scanner picked up.
Secondly, the real resume has nearly as many grammatical and typographical errors as the fake. The fake one is appalling when read, but the real one isn't compelling either. If, after 12 years, our guy has some interest in markdown editors and doesn't even know why, I'd be tossing that one -- but I'd never see it.
It's all pattern recognition of keywords and figures in initial screening.
Reminds me of the quarreling around the "The Prisoner" appreciation society, Six of One. Fanbois seem to delight in defending infinitesimal plots of virtual turf to the death.
I watched them contemporaneously and also participated in online (dial-up modem!) chats with JMS and can affirm that they developed independently.
“A space station” is about all they share.
Inevitably, the commenter is a blue-haired monstrosity.
They destroy actual culture because they demanded the right to make up their own, and even they realize the one they made up sucks.
