[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Trust my rage
I'm so sorry I missed this thread today. Beautiful wedding picures and three very Buffista grammar discussion.
For the record, when I'm doing legal writing, I almost always refer to the gender of either my client or the person in the particular case I'm referencing.
Okay, that wasn't very clear. But the law is all about taking what happened in one case and making it a rule for the instant case. So, if the person in the original case was a woman, my rule uses "she" and vice versa. As in, "when a person crosses the border without being admitted and inspected, she is considered to have entered without inspection and is therefore removable". Even if my guy is a guy, I still use she if the person in the case is a she.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
OOOooooh, "the instant case". SEXAY.

Hi Nonian, just to make sure I understand let me feed that back to you for correction if I have it wrong, please. Say you are defending a woman. The legal status of a man has to be described as part of your case. So you would still say "When a person crosses the border, she ..." because the defendant is a woman.
True? Or did I misunderstand?

Trust my rage
As is quite common, I was posting and getting kids ice cream. Let me be a little a clearer (I hope). I would say something like:
As articulated by the court in Matter of Hernandez, when a person crosses the border and [whatever], she is considered to have been admitted. Therefore, Respondent in the instant case is also properly admitted because he [similar facts].
This assumes the Hernandez is a woman and Respondent is a man.

OK so just the actual gender of the person being described. I was making it more complicated than it needed to be. Thanks. Hope the kids enjoyed their ice cream, along with anyone else who had some.

The ice cream was yummy. We had hot fudge, caramel, AND Magic Shell.

Aww, yay Nonian. Hope things are going OK.
I'm loving a new yogurt place near here that opened--it has a bunch of different flavors that you serve yourself, and toppings (fruits and candies and mochi and sweetened condensed milk!) and it's pay by the ounce, so it's actually pretty cheap. Nom, tart blueberry! And taro!

Oh, Seska, those wedding picturs are joy making.
I think Picture 30 is my favorite.
