For those interested in gender free contra dance terms:

1. Do you like or dislike jets / rubies ?

Like. (I'm responding on personal preference alone; I'm aware of some 
objections to this, which I don't personally share.)

2. How would gems / rubies compare?


Less good, because the soft "ms" would make the call less clear. Also, 
rubies _are_ gems, so this is confusing.
