Anyway, I'm not going to get sidetracked in a debate over "girl" versus "woman." If you prefer to say "boy," I can't control your use of language.

I do NOT so prefer it. My point is that words with bad connotations distract too, unless one fully intends said bad connotations.

Why did you engage in that type of distraction, a distraction you could easily remove without any negative repercussions I can think of?
