Hi all!

It's a pity everyone jumped at my "Antwort"...

>>>http://arstechnica.com/archive/news/1057602931.html

I am still wondering whether such an analysis of a translated and/or edited
text will bring forth the author's gender or the translator's or editor's
gender. Neither of these problems were mentioned in the article. Any ideas
anyone?

Victoria, I am still interested in the source for the study you mentioned
here.

Ciao,
Kerstin
