It's because you are an 'inferior' woman.

Next time, sign it 'Bert Wencher, Director of Export Documentation'.

Disrespect of authority equates to 2 years conscription on the Iraq border to your average Turk.

No, if she was shipping grammatical items she would be having problems with the Chamber of Commas.

Footernote phones actually. They allow people to discuss things without interfering with the flow of the plot. For example, threads could stay on topic.
