FWIW, I find Issybird to be one of the less confrontational posters on MR, and I have had disagreements with her in the past. I wish more posters would follow her example.

No idea, not a fan, only knew about his wife from a remaindered turgid biography I didn't finish .

"Nikita" is a man's name.
In Russia, yes. But in India its a female name.

There's a couple of Bollywood female actors, and Nikita Singh the novelist.

And don't forget the movie La Femme Nikita and the TV show Nikita.

Both main characters are women named Nikita. So I do think most people (at least in the US) would think Nikita is a female name.

There was Nikita Khrushchev in the Soviet Union. But I think most people don't think of him when they see/hear the name Nikita.

I use plain web OverDrive for my libraries.
I keep a lot of things on my "Wish List".
Normally, since very few are available at any time, I use the "Available now" filter.
Overdrive just got rid of that.
So now I have to scroll through pages of Wish List to see if anything is actually available to borrow.
Maybe give the web version of Libby a try? It has available now, and things you waitlist in Overdrive are Waitlisted in Libby.

It's not the grammar, it's the bias.

TPTB changed it back to the way it was

I've always been spatially oriented, more so as the years pass.

Not opposed to change, providing it has purpose, and if does I am more likely to welcome it rather than reject it.
