I recognize that “female” is sometimes taken this way now, but I seem to remember a time when it was the use of “woman” as an adjective that seemed more problematic. I grew up watching TV reruns from the 50s & 60s, and in shows from that era, you’d hear characters intended to be seen as sexist railing about “women drivers”, “women reporters”, etc. To my (admittedly young) ear, part of the insult or intended derision in these terms came from the intentional clunkiness of the terms. As no one would say “man driver” or “man reporter”, it made the phrase “woman driver” seem unnatural, and by extension then the idea of a woman driver unnatural. If the characters had used the more clinical sounding “female driver”, it would likely only come off as equivalent to “male driver”, and so lose much of its punch.

I realize that there is now some ick associated with some uses of the word female, but if efforts aren’t made to reclaim it, I think we are doomed to it becoming strictly pejorative - and who wants that?

It’s not the H that bothers me; it’s the kerning

Fully agreed, but it bothers me that you changed the order of the resulting names

Good catch. It seems bad. My only hope, here, is that the lost depth is due to some other need for the volume behind it, volume that is either accessible from the side of the cabinet, or volume lost to some need to accommodate something that has to be there (pipes, ducts, etc). If this is the case, then what could you display in such limited space bit books, pictures, or the like?

This reading seems pretty charitable, I know, but alleviates some of the infuriating for me.

Your suggestion seems the most likely to me, and I am sure the truth runs somewhere along these lines. It seems possible to me that a certain amount of guilt or sense of responsibility might come along with these clothing choices, which might help explain why the wearers are so well prepared to mitigate sartorial harm.

You are probably right. It wasn’t long ago that I ran into some strange behavior that resolved within a day or so.

This one just struck me as more deliberate, I guess, because the change to the way posts aren’t shown as viewed when URLs are followed has persisted for weeks.

Differing heights are less noticeable during the spin cycle, so I guess that’s how they are handling that issue.

Or, you’re holding a nozzle that sprays liquid. Just douse the speaker in gasoline.

You’ve got to be kidding! Every morning, as soon as the sun even gets close to coming over the horizon, it seems every dinosaur in the neighborhood starts tweeting, or screeching, or cawing. Don’t believe for a second that I haven’t thought about this and been grateful that none of the toothed ones made it. I wouldn’t be able to take the din.

You mean the price tag?

No, unfortunately, it would remind me every time that I looked at it that I had somehow married someone who thought this was acceptable.

Don’t worry. The good folks at Boeing have assured us that it is all perfectly safe.

I’d like to know first if there is already a means in the settings to handle this issue. Unfortunately, also, I get the feeling that what I am seeing is the intended behavior, which is just not my preference
