*Words* (and only words) have gender.There's an RFC about that! RFC 6350, section 6.2.7, about the GENDER vCard property:
And kudos to Simon for bring it back to a semblence of on-topic-ness. Glad to see that the authors of 6350 were thinking ahead, but I (and I think OED) will continue to quibble with the choice of word. Just appropriating words that mean other things is generally not a safe approach... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
