Summary

Hey! We remembered to answer listener questions!  Roz wanted to know, "As a woman, should I say 'Obrigado' or 'Obrigada'?", Dee has an excellent question about gendered languages and gender-neutrality (which we may have half answered?). We discuss various Minas accents, who thinks that bus belongs to them, why is "Colonel" spelled that way in the first place, Presidente/Presidenta and Sir/Ma'am (and SHOULD she be offended?), and the widow/widower theory [Luiz Castro, TM].
