Thank you posting that.  Given a person with a penchant for
discriminating against someone based on how he or she pees, I've
always wondered why certain people would think that coercing that
person to change some verbiage would make any difference.  I tend to
regard those who abuse "person" to either be uneducated or unskilled
with the English language or both.  Just another of life's little
irrationalities, I guess.
