- Remember the “...ward” words (such as “toward” and “forward”) don’t end in “s.”
- Last week we read how sexist we are saying “Oh, boy...”, “Oh, man!” and “Man the life boats!” A reader also pointed the Biblical “amen.” However, “hymn” is not sexist despite its pronunciation. And we do say “sister store” rather than “brother store.”
