       See, exactly my point in my earlier message.  When i am reading a core 
book for an RPG, board game, card game, etc...the PRONOUN they use in the 
rules is the LAST thing that catches my attention.  The fact that DP9 had to 
put in that "disclaimer" proves that people will take offense at anything, 
just to have something to complain about.
