  • Hm. That's not really the common nomenclature for it, as it's "man" being used in the sense of "the human race", not man as in a singular male (like in "mailman"). But I'm of mixed feelings on it. - Vianello (talk) 20:52, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia topics should reflect the most common usage, rather than the prejudices of its editors. Tedickey (talk) 21:39, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Gender-neutral language is not a prejudice. JCDenton2052 (talk) 21:52, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Fine. You have a lot of work to do, eliminating words from the language. Bye. Tedickey (talk) 22:18, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
