    If you're already a male then stop using gay phrases such as "You're welcome, darling"
    And if you're a woman, then you can't
    Fixed.

    A man chooses, a slave obeys. Take control of your life!

    Bioshock was such a great game.

    *womens'. It's possessive plural.

    No need to thank me.
    Well you're right about one thing, there is no need to thank you.

    By learning from your mistakes, having your own personal set of morals and rules that you don't break. By embracing knowledge, attaining wisdom and being understanding.

    Oh and eating spicy food.

    I'm glad you picked up on my hint of not needing to thank me.

    Well done.

    It wasn't a hint, you explicitly said "no need to thank me".

    Just a shame that you're unfamiliar with basic English grammar.

    The implication and expected inference were different. Thus in my eyes it was a hint. The fact that you have not inferred it the way I expected isn't a problem.

    I'm not unfamiliar with grammar, for a scientist I'm competent enough.

    Yes, but women doesn't end in an 's', so it's women's, I think you're thinking of Ladies, and they're a whole different ball game.

    Ok, whatever helps you sleep at night.

    But if you're going to try and make a smart-aleck comment - like I did earlier - at least make sure what you're saying is correct.

    I know that, I was 'testing' the OP if you will.
    "Women" is already a plural, so doesn't need the additional s for pluralisation, so when it becomes possessive it doesn't become s's, which is commonly replaced by s'.
