There's not a good term for a female peer. Lady or woman tend to imply someone older. Girl or gal are insulting. What's the equivalent for "guy" that means "just this female dude, you know?"

Unfortunately, there are way too many unqualified people out there applying for jobs and ruining it for the rest of us. As a hiring for manager for years, I've seen a huge number of people try to fake their way through interviews. Th

But the new car is already here, sitting on a nearby lot, not being driven while I drive my clunker around. Your argument may apply to a future reduction of car shipments if enough people follow your advice, but that is hard to count on.
