    I have been offline for a while and came back to quite a few comments on saves... a few times some users decided to start bickering over random things on my boards and on more than one occasion (much to my amusement) i have seen several users refer to me as "he" or when refering to my work "his". while i know noone on here knows who or what i actually am (i prefer it that way) i had thought that people could come to the comclusion i am a female when they see my username to start with (as far as i know the term 'chick' is used towards females only.) apparently that doesn't click. very funny to see how many people assume i am a guy despite my name. lolz. just a thought. don't mind me.

    That's very amusing. Although they might have not known that (Kids play this game 2) and there's this slight possibility of the joke/misunderstanding.

    I recognise you from #powder :D sorry again for thinking you were a guy.

    All #powder users are males except for one (as far as I know), that's why I usually refer to users as he/his in that channel and I didn't know that "chick" is supposed to be used by females since I'm not a Pro-English-Internet guy. Also most people on the internet are males, so expect them referring to you as a male to happen a lot.

    Also you might want to know that "She" is also used to denotate persons that gender is not certain

    Actually it's advised to use singular they when you don't know the gender of the person you are talking to.

    No, that would be 'they'
