Notes & Asides.
-- Dear Mr. Buckley: To quote a recent Wall Street Journal editorial, "The House of Representatives, as everyone knows, is that place where the Members address each other as 'The Gentlelady [one word] from Connecticut.'" I need some help on this.
"Ladies" and "Gentlemen" are terms to designate persons, female and male, of refined speech and manners. There are gentle ladies, but that is redundant. One could, I guess, say that a lady is a female gentleman. But the term "gentlelady" sounds stilted and not in keeping with the King's English.
My eighth-grade English teacher would have none of it, and she was ever a lady.
Sincerely,
David D. Ansel
Annapolis, Md.
Dear Mr. Ansel: What you ask puts us face to face with a discomfiting fruit of the women's movement. To refer to a "lady," other than as a complement to a "gentleman," is thought condescending. Clare Boothe Luce, e.g., reprimanded me on Firing Line for referring to her as a ("distinguished") lady.
