Some English rules are useful. Others were made up 200 years ago by someone with a grudge.

Here's @BCDreyer on a few of the latter: https://t.co/6rGrsfeeQW

@mattdobra @PaddyoNeilio Interesting arguments, both. Grammar something something parallel structure something dangling modifier.

This is great. Turns out the women's movement was brief and incomplete and faced a massive cultural backlash that subsumed and mocked women's ambitions and desires. Who knew? (Oddly enough, Cathy did.) https://t.co/zwVE8qNxVt

Don't forget, we offer daily walk-in sessions on a first-come, first-serve basis. You can reserve your spot in the mornings. Come see us!

Feckless
Hapless
Guerdonless?

A look at the (quite abundant) world of '-less' words: https://t.co/gxz29yUiiM

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

There's currently a split between the use of 'woman' and 'female' as modifiers, with some preferring one over the other. If you're stuck, consider that there's rarely a need to say something like 'female surgeon'; 'surgeon' works just fine.
