goose and gander change gender?

[BobK]

Hi all there!

Sorry to disturb this thread! Is there any one able to give me help in introducing myself in the introduction thread? I'm searching all around in this thread but I can't find a possibility to enter my introduction!

Sorry again but I'm confused.

Thanks

Gentlemen and ladies, I'd like to question that always.

Ladies are put before Gentlemen because this is a more conscious coinage in comparison with brothers and sisters. It is often used in a business context or in a more conscious way of addressing people.
