There were a couple of places in the 1st book, "On Basilisk Station,"
where David Weber seemed to want to try to use pronouns and honorifics
in nontraditional ways, but later on this effort was abandoned and all
men were he, all women were she, and titles such as Lord and Lady were
gender-specific. But in the 6th book, "Honor Among Enemies," a woman is
referred to as a "First Lord of the Admiralty." Are there any
traditionalists on the list who think this should have been, "First Lady
of the Admiralty?"
