"That there are people (including, it would seem, some Associated Press editors and caption writers), who are still unaware of the distinction between the word "gay" (in the old, happy "toujours gai" sense) and the modern re-worked meaning, makes one despair. Was it for this that we have had compulsory elementary education in the Western world these last 100 years?"
I think I'm well aware of the distinction between the two connotations Danny, I rather think I'm happy with the "toujours gai", but no fan of the modern derogation of the word. Perhaps I am the result of the failure of our education system.
