Sex

I hope that caught your attention.  The correct term when finding out if the baby is a male or female is SEX, not gender.  No prenatal test is going to tell you your child's gender.

A child's SEX is biological.  XX or XY, penis or vagina.
A child's GENDER is psychological.

The majority of the time they do match up but they are NOT interchangeable.

Oh, I was talking about another post in this post some how I tried to relate them but I forgot why...

I have to put full stops... and punctuation, I don't know why, it's like OCD. If I don't put normal punctuation, there will be full stops and commars (I can't spell it) and I will always break up my sentences, and start new paragraphs cause I like it LOL...
But text language really does my Noodle in, did they teach you how to spell like that at school? Nope.

Ashelen, my BF used to write like that, you will see a random capital letter. So it will be like
Hi my nAme is JoHn, I slapped it out of him. he uses text language, BUT not as bad a some people he would put 2moz and mre, and things, but I understand what he means. Not like some people! LOL....

This convo started about sex and gender LOL....
do you think some people go, I think we should have Gender tonight?? LOL..

I+AM+NOT+FOND+OF+THE+POSTS+THAT+LOOK+LIKE+THIS+EITHER+IT+IS+VERY+HARD+TO+READ+THEM... I don't even know how one gets to an all-caps post with plus marks in between the words -- does some software do it automatically?  The caps-lock feature doesn't do it, at least on my computer -- it just puts equals signs in between.  I also have trouble reading posts where the poster does not break up their thoughts, so the entire thing is technically one sentence even though about eighty-five (or a hundred eighty five or two hundred eighty five) words long.

Ashelen~~~OMG! You have made my day! LOL LOL LOL!!! BTW thanks, I didn't have to pee when I opened this post...lol. aNd YeS tHaT aNnOyS mE tOo!!!

Anyways, I don't think we really need to make fun of this post, it does have a valid point...BUT we can't expect everyone to be correct with their way of words, or spelling...for example, different people have different phrases, or use words differently because of their backgrounds, as far as where they are in the world. You can't expect people to be correct 100% of the time. I'm sure if you look through everyone's posts SOMEWHERE no matter what you want to believe...I guarantee there's at least ONE mess up...

BUT this post has brightened my days a little, given everything I've been going through the last few days, I've needed a good laugh!
