I encourage everyon to support Bert's commonsense bill. Strictly from a language standpoint, so many of these artificially genderless nouns are simply needlessly awkward and serve no really important purpose. Linguistic "equality" is a ridiculously poor substitute for actual equal valuation of the sexes. Let's return to simple sanity from the outer regions of Political "Correctness."

Notice I used congressman in the title of this bill.

Assuming "congressman or congresswoman" refers to two distinct possible titles to be assigned pursuant to the passage of this legislation, the present language provides no method or formula by which one might determine which title is to be assigned to a given user. As such, I would advise the administration that a more enactable interpretation of this law would be, rather, that "congressman or congresswoman" is a single title which ought to be applied to each and every user currently designated as a congressperson; in this case, no such method or formula would be necessary, as all users would be assigned the same title. I have no doubt that this latter interpretation must represent the intent of Congressman or Congresswoman BertGoldberg, though he or she could have made this Act less ambiguous by using some additional punctuation.

Seems unnecessary as congressperson is not only grammatically correct, it is also simpler for the people running the website to just label everyone as one title rather than create separate titles
