You remind me of Dr. Hofstadter's excellent essay on the subject: "Another suggestion is that the plural pronoun "they" be used in place of the inclusive "whe." This would turn the charming proverb "Whe wh

Thanks so much for this comment - when reading the article I noticed it carefully circumlocuted "superconductivity", and was curious what the difference was. This perfectly explains it (and goes into further interesting detail), w
