    Just a pet peeve: AP style (you're writing for the Collegian, right, Bluehat?) says if a female human being is 16 or older, she's a woman, not a girl.
    Holy nutmeg!

      My stylebook's kind of old, but it says 18, and that's how I remember Jack Getz teaching me.

        Just looked it up in a new stylebook and you're right. Nonetheless my point still stands. All of the members of our women's soccer team (and all of our women's teams) are 18 or older. They're woman or young woman, not girls.

          Girls and boys play high school sports (and below), whereas women and men play college sports--that's always been my understanding. Don't got no stylebook to quote, though . . .

          Still, how 'bout them Soccer Jacks? Undefeated so far . . .

            I sure hope you aren't going to start requiring style books for message boards, if so I won't never be riten agin.

              Nope. But when you were 18, I'll bet you didn't want to be referred to as a "boy".
