Indeed, if you would go down this road, where does it stop? You would be eligible getting discussions why the female species is described with a longer word than the male. Why is there even a 'man' part in 'woman'. I can bet there are man and woman finding this offensive!!!! ;) What do you think about these symbols for male and female? Should be changed also, this male is now pointing up to heaven = good, and female pointing down to hell = bad? ;) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
