It seems Pope Francis needs to brush up on his Tertullian!

It has been reported (in The ChristLast Media, I must note) that the current Pope does not like the phrase "lead us not into temptation...

I get mail...

The suspiciously named David Amulet congratulates Your Humble Servant for being such a mensch, and then departs for some hot, sweaty gender.

A great story-- I just posted a smart-ass take on this over on my blog. This guy must feel awful (literally, due to the stumble, and figuratively).

I see somethng about sex vs. gender below ... one of my pet peeves ... I'd better read that one now ...

Oh, no. Not literally.

Your profile is right on about "gender!" My rule for this is that if you're not in a language class talking about the masculine or feminine forms of a word, use "sex." I don't know if I'm right about that, but it has served me well.

Especially in conversations with the opposite gender. (heheh)

Dear Citizen Amulet,
Your comment on the hijacking of the word "gender" by the Word Nazis brings the total of such comments on my blog to two. I fear this battle has been lost, as has the one over the wonderful little word "gay".

Since your blog isn't nearly as ignorant as most (mine included, of course) I will be happy to post a link to it.

Anyway, thanks for visiting and for the kind words as well.

Thanks for the post, sir. If we keep finding words that we find mutually offensive and misued, we can publish a book on the subject.

Perhaps we can call it English Writes and Wrongs. Or Get Your Filthy Ignorant Hands Off of My Language, Punk!

A capital idea, sir!

Perhaps we can get James Frey to write it for us. I'm sure he can make up a whole bunch of words nobody ever heard of.

Oprah uber alles!

First of all, the word is SEX, not GENDER. If you are ever tempted to use the word GENDER, don't. The word is SEX! SEX! SEX! SEX! For example: "My sex is male." is correct. "My gender is male." means nothing. Look it up. What kind of sick neo-Puritan nonsense is this? Idiot left-fascists, get your blood-soaked paws off the English language. Hence I am choosing "male" under protest.
