How could one overlook _Bonfire of the Vanities_? There are all sorts of
ethical problems to consider in that one!

Subject: Quebec and Taxes

Last time I checked, Quebec was still part of Canada -- though who knows
for how much longer. (Sorry, we're a bit touchy on that subject up
here.) As to the question: provinces have the right to levy their own
sales tax. Quebec's tax is roughly the same as elsewhere in Canada,
around 8%. But you can avoid it if you buy and have your purchase
delivered out of province.

Subject: Gender Free Language Bibliog

You may be interested in the AAUP Gender-Free committee. That committee
has already published a bibliography on gender-free and non-sexist
languages. You can get more information by writing:

She is, alas, not on the network, but I would be happy to forward any
postings relating to this topic to her.

My current reference on nonsexist usage is _Language, Gender, and
Professional Writing: Theoretical Approaches and Guidelines for
Nonsexist Usage_, by Francine Wattman Frank and Paula A. Treichler
(NY: MLA, 1989). It includes about 40 pages of bibliography and
suggestions for further reading. I recommend it highly.
