Actually it is what was said but the original adds "if gender is unclear". A minor point that seems important in this day and age.

This quote worried me from the article "advising writers to refer to [... subjects...] as a ‘person’ or ‘people’ to avoid assigning gender" annoyed me but it's not actually what the person quoted by the writer said. Naughty. Read the original here: www.nga.gov/visit/access...

Much missed. I just about remember the dutch elm disease from the 1970s. Much to my amazement I saw some big elms at Stanley Park in Blackpool in the early 2000s. Even those are gone I think.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that dislikes Prison Band. The clue's in the name, I suppose!
