That does not mean that English majors are not over-sexed. I have been around English majors and English grad students for a good part of my life and while it is only anecdotal, I would have to agree with the generalization that they are indeed over-sexed.

Oh my! Well, there's the stuff of a dissertation. I guess citing the sources could be fraught with some real issues though.
This thread is a classic illustration of where things go when English majors get in the loop. -- not that I am saying that I am one, mind you. But I have certainly noticed that English majors do so love to take a topic all over the place. I think this thread started with some little grammatical thing, and the thread was not started by an English major.
