    Well, it was not discussed on the relevant thread, and we have to keep it somewhat scientific-sounding and all.

    That would have been my choice.

    Doesn't someone have access to an OED?

    That's generally the last say...

    Well, a stylebook can go contrary to a dictionary. And different places use different dictionaries as the last word.

    In newspapers, yes.

    In academia, OED is the final say.

    Medical dictionary and Webster's have me as correct with clitorides. But I will abide by the ruling of the OED. But not this poll, as the answer is likely to be, "You know, that thing BYH can't find, but two of them..."

    I'd like to help in this discussion, but it is a topic that I just can't quite put my finger on.

    Sorry.

    This would be a neat thread for someone to start: what the women of sj call their hooded companion. I ain't starting it; I'm not gonna be known as the guy who starts clit threads.
