"He could still be male, but not a "chap"." Yes, I considered that possibility, calculated the theoretical per-centages based on the historic distribution of British culture vs. the geographic/ethnic distribution of the Renderosity membership and factored in the average probability of offense being taken at an unintentional sub-cultural faux pas as opposed to the natural human tendency to correct mistaken gender assumptions and concluded that the odds were, to a statistically significant degree, in favor of gender dysmorphia rather than a cross-cultural vernacular disconnect. Yes, I took a guess, a wild fling and damn the consequences. It's a new year, time to live dangerously. Look at me ma, top a' the world! Do they really still favor the now archaic usage of "dude" in Big Sky Country and not the now accepted "Seasonal Urban Tourist" designation? Even here in the land time forgot (aka Bushland), dude has achieved it's true status as the legitimate successor to "guy" and is even edging out "good old boy" (OK, not really, GOB still rules). Rock on :-)
