. . and way too tired to write anything of significance. Instead, I'll just direct you to this site -- which DSL sent to me last Friday -- which seems to be able to deduce the gender of a writer by the language used.
It's been accurate so far with all that I've tried. But I can't wait to hear how y'all manage to stump it.
I intend to write about the rest of my trip -- and perhaps even tell my sister's funny story -- sometime later this week.

Well, the genie thinks this was written by a woman. Fortunately the author is very comfortable with his masculinity.
Maybe because it wasn't at least 500 words? Try something longer.
As a general rule, it recognizes my longer posts as being written by a man, but shorter posts are often mistaken for a woman.
Mine's the opposite: The shorter my post -- the further from the 500 words that the program recommends -- the less likely it is to think that I am female. So, perhaps the 500 word rule has a purpose.
I pasted an excerpt of non-fiction writing from George Sand (a French woman who wrote under a man's name) and it guessed she was a woman, but only barely: 413 Male to 430 Female.
Next I'll try George Elliot!
I think it's surprisingly accurate. Unless you submit legal writing, such as a brief in support of a motion for summary judgment. Then it definitely thinks you're male.
I know I'm late to the game, but I submitted an essay I wrote for Steve's brother-in-law on why I like Steve (don't ask) and it thought I was male. I wonder what this means. . .
