Yes, in the spirt of p-list postmodernity I included a normative
designation which is not normative at all in that here "old person"
applies to only one individual--like the Westerman and the Pard.
Unlike the designations of German person, Canadian person, Australian
person, British person, American person, female person, etc., each of
which oppressively lumps together what in a perfect (though impossible)
world might have been better left unlumped.
