Indeed. But as Jordi mentioned, you can argue the same about French in France vs Belgium vs Canada, etc. I think "tu" in French is used more "easily" outside France. I agree with Gregor (IMHO: Using the female-only form in a Debian _Women_ context sounds perfectly fine to me.) You can start with a disclaimer (à la "we are using feminine forms for generality and convenience and don't mean to discriminate against anyone" just like administrations here in Québec do about masculine forms). Then write the body of texts all in feminine form. It should be fine. Marianne -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
