(6,151 posts)But I must condemn the prejudice underlying your sentiment. Supposing of course that you didn't mean the problem lay not in the spelling of the boss' name but rather her gender itself. If you referred to spelling, I'd suggest you might want to read your work with 'the eye of a stranger' before hitting that send butto for unintended ambiguity. If you mean yes, her gender itself is the problem (that old myth of women being worse supervisors), that would sound like Pig Boy's attitude re 'feminazis'.
I ask for clarification because I don't want to bite your ankles prematurely.
At the very least what we're seeing here is the result of less than stellar composition. For that I blame the terrible state of 'education' ever since schools gave up teaching how to diagram sentences. Well, at least it saved me a lifetime's frustration from trying to convince school boards of their deficiency. Before the strangulation of learning, I'd planned to go into teaching. Glad I spared myself. Can't always avoid the fallout, though. People can't read what you mean when the field's so wide, only what you write.
