Spelling in English might not be so hard for me (thanks Google Translator), but Google grammar (and composition) is the worst thing I've ever seen. Now I just wonder if insanity has gender? ... Sadly, insanity has no gender (in that it affects both male and female alike.) I agree on Google's performance. As closure, my questioning of Alex's assumptions was not related to your gender. It was to illustrate the way we make assumptions based on our own preconceptions and biases.

I early retired from IBM in 1999. My last responsibilities included providing country support for OS/2. AltaVista (no space ) was a game changer. Try and picture the Internet without search engines.
