Never has illiteracy been so funny.

This is a live an image of the pit orchestra at the Vintage Theater’s production of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. I’m the musical director and I play the keyboard closest to the camera. We run weekends until August 8 and we still have some tickets left. Buy your tickets now before we’re completely sold out.

I can’t believe I haven’t posted on this before. Back 12 years or so ago when I was in AP English class at BCHS we discussed the introduction of gender-neutral pronouns into the English language.

• he/she = hesh (pronunciation: hɛʃ)

• him/her = himmer (pronunciation: hɪmɚ)

• his/her = hisser (pronunciation: hɪzɚ)

There you have subject, object, and possessive pronouns all wrapped up into one tidy little word where nobody can accuse you of being non-PC or sexist. Personally I use the masculine as a default when I do not know the gender of the person, but I believe it is worth a try, as in my post on shortening numbers, to change the pronouns for the sake of equality. Except where the number change was to give each number more efficiency by decreasing it to one syllable, this change is to promote neutrality.

There’s a model railroading convention in Denver right now and this got me thinking, “what’s the largest and most impressive model railroad I can find?” It’s called the Miniatur Wunderland and it’s in Germany, of course.

I’m totally going to go here. It looks like I could easily spend an entire day here. This is now officially on my list of places to see.
