If I know them equally well, it's a toss-up depending on the lengths of the names. It's a real stretch to conclude any of this is due to "political correctness" on my part. <br /><br />How people list names of people they don't know at all is probably guided by different rules. I'm honestly not sure how it'd come out for me.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432218062519321962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-70318513099303412122011-05-07T02:44:04.947+12:002011-05-07T02:44:04.947+12:00When I first read the politically correct excuse I...When I first read the <i>politically correct</i> excuse I was taken aback. The second time it was fairly obvious that he was drawing conclusions based upon his own <i>socio-political</i> bias which makes him a bad and lazy researcher.<br /><br />Personally, I tend to put the female in couples first. I suspect this may have something to do with the fact that my sisters got married long before my brothers did - basic socialisation in other words. What it doesn't have anything to do with is <i>political correctness.</i>Draco TBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06765506075559300004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8770341086445997547.post-68945737322997251032011-05-06T23:50:51.667+12:002011-05-06T23:50:51.667+12:00You have to love how putting the female name first...You have to love how putting the female name first requires some non-linguistic social-pressure explanation ... but putting the male first doesn't, because of course there's no such thing as patriarchy or an historic privileging of men.
