Sometimes, the gender of a poster is relatively easy to deduce due to their style of posting, and, dare I say it, their choice of vocabulatory.
But sometimes it is difficult to know if you are "talking" to a man or a woman (or homosexual).
OK, right away, I hear protests of "what the heck does it matter?"
Well, I just think it would be interesting and would help clear things up a bit!
Maybe it is just me, but I like to get a picture in my head as to whom I am talking to!
I've also noticed that some posters call somebody who I know to be a "she", a "he" and vice-versa.
For some reason, that determines how they (wrongly) reply to to them.
I think it is important that we know whether we are talking to a man or a woman.
Does anybody agree?
What is your thought?
