This has to be cleared up right now.<BR/><BR/>A hand bag is a hand bag - it is never a purse.<BR/><BR/>A wallet is what Ann describes if it is carried by a man. If it is carried by a woman, even if it looks like a wallet, it is a purse.<BR/><BR/>An old man could get away with carrying a purse (just) but if a young man needs a container for coins he would be advised to buy a key-purse and never to refer to it as a purse.<BR/><BR/>A lot of people think that English nouns do not have gender. This is rubbish. It's just that their gender is the name itself, not in the pronoun or ending.MadPriesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120376342802143188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411865498121175202.post-25908592786035767752009-03-21T12:45:00.000-06:002009-03-21T12:45:00.000-06:00You should all know me better than that by now.
