Yes.. Written by Johanna Elisabet (1/12/2004 7:11 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Am I helping?, penned by Julianne E.

]Also I wonder if Miss Bingley would have said "your own sex" if it was her own sex too.

I have also wondered about the use of possessivness in English. Mr Bennet refers to Jane as Mrs Bennets daughter when they learn about her illness at Neaterfield. Shouldn´t it have been "our daughter"?
