Re: dumb airplane question
This is so silly. If the term "stewardess" is outdated because it conjures sexist images, that is somewhat understandable. To suggest that the entire -ess suffix is offensive because it identifies the gender of its subject? That's just plain oversensitive.

Usage Note: Many critics have argued that there are sexist connotations in the use of the suffix -ess to indicate a female in words like sculptress, waitress, stewardess, and actress...
