From a letter to the editor in the Indianapolis Star: "Roger W. Schmenner, associate dean of the Kelley School of Business Indianapolis, wrote (My View, Nov. 6) that small and mid-sized businesses are "a driving force" in today's economy. I'd like to add that women-owned businesses are the leaders of that driving force." Women-owned? It's not just that a copy editor didn't catch a dunderheaded contributor's mistake -- the Star put women-owned in the headline, too. Am I the last person on the stinking planet who still uses "man" and "woman" as nouns and switches to "male" and "female" for the adjectival form? Would you say man-owned? Well, would you, huh, huh?
I feel much better now.
