SOMEONE, CHAIRONE
Then how about using "Chairone?" It too would be neutral.
The same idea could apply to a number of words that have been changed over the past couple decades in order to be politically correct. We have to say chairwoman if she's a she.
But isn't that kind of silly? If we used the "one" suffix wherever the word ends in "man" it could be voiced almost identically. Try it.
The NOW gang couldn't/shouldn't complain since we're not using the male ending.
And any male-chauvinist-pigs still out there could have a quiet chuckle as they slurred that last syllable such that you couldn't quite tell which ending was voiced.
I'm thinking this means I won't have a date on Saturday night any time soon!
