Random Tuesday Thought

Tuesday 24 June 2008

That’s right, in the singular. Similar to this post, it comes from an observation about work (Speaking of which, I should be grateful I even still have a job that I can make amusing observations about, thanks to the job climate, the state of the banking industry, and the cost-cutting measures in place at my place of employment). I’m not going to try to read too much into it, but suffice to say it involved copying a table in which “Women” was capitalized as “WoMen” several times. It brought to mind a Beavis and Butthead episode where for some reason, B&B stumble onto a feminist organization that called themselves “Womyn” (Because they weren’t just a subset of “Men” or somesuch), and the guys, having not heard of this, promptly inform the organization that they’re spelling “women” wrong. Don’t ask me why this came into my head at that point, but oh well.

    Heh, I remember that episode–funny! I should watch the Beavis and Butt-head movie again one of these days.
