I Write Letters

Dear English-Speaking World,

While I am aware that the word "female" can be both noun and adjective, I kindly request that you refrain from using it as a noun unless you are a farmer referring to livestock or the narrator on a nature special.

Acceptable: "The females encircle the young as the predator approaches."

Unacceptable: "Club Douché is filled with hot females on a Friday night."

Female humans are called girls or women. Please make a note.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Warmest Regards,
Liss
