>However, if you look at Wikipedia, Britannica, or Google "Amfissa", you would have to do some serious digging to even find mention of her<That's the problem with modern society - people think they don't have to read real books, conduct academic research, etc., just do some "googling." Thankfully, sometimes I still am able to use my trusty, old brain :)
>If someone uses as their nickname the city name Corona or Sedona or Atlanta? Or Fedora (a hat)? What about Minnesota, Alabama, Louisiana, Arizona, Georgia? Do you automatially assume the person is female?<
No, darling, I don't assume. I don't have to. I do research, analyze it, and draw conclusions. Basically, that's what I do for a living.
BTW, which of the women are you in the painting :)?
