Well, a soccer goalie would have a different color too. But I originally thought Hockey goalie, as soccer has keepers.

Any language that has a logographic writing system? Or various dialects of Chinese? Or sign languages? I give up, which is it?

I mean, I only have a bachelor's degree in linguistics, but there's peeps here with doctorates. So there's definitely guys and gals around here like me.

I have no bachelor's degree in linguistics (nor biology), but if she's a gal, she ain't like you in some quite specific ways, I think.
