<p>Madjoy, Reread my post please. I never said I thought “ze” was ridiculous; where do you come off saying that? I said I had never heard of the term before. </p>
<p>As for the unconventional appearance of the tour guide, Wesleyan admissions was making a clear point about nondiscriminatory hiring, freedom of expression, etc. I got the message at the time.

We did not feel the “fit” on that first visit.</p>
