>Count me in. But you forgot "personually," "personagement," and "persony."

Oh, come on. Next thing you'll want "Human Resources" instead of "Man
Resources", personnel instead of mannel, personality instead of manality,
personify instead of manify, Sheffield instead of Heffield, and staffing
instead of manning. That's the kind of PC thinking that leads to <shudder>
accurate and precise use of language, instead of customary sloppiness. Tut
tut.
