Hi, Thanks for cleaning up [[Dianne Feinstein]]. Would you mind explaining your edits [https://kw.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dianne_Feinstein&diff=prev&oldid=187735 here] - with things like ''mer'' and ''ombrofyer'', are they not gendered?

:{{ping|Gazamp}} Hiya, no problem! So, feel free to revert the changes to mer and ombrofyer as it is definitely a matter of choice. My reasoning for making those edits are that the Cornish speaking community seems to be moving away from gendering professions. I don't know of many women within the community who would use "meres", were they a mayor, just as in English I don't know of many women who would want to be mayoresses. This is an area very much under discussion at the moment, there was actually a Kesva meeting last week about things like gender neutral language, professions and pronouns in Kernewek. So, yeah, especialy with mer(es) as she doesn't appear to use mayoress in English, I thought it a good idea to change as in most cases the gender of the agent is less important than their role. But it's absolutely no skin off my nose if you want to revert. Hope that helps! --[[Devnydhyer:Gwikor Frank|Gwikor Frank]] ([[Keskows Devnydhyer:Gwikor Frank|keskows]]) 19:34, 5 Gortheren 2021 (UTC)
