Woman with a pencil who draws

Welcome Cindy.

Welcome to the forum Cindy. I never refer to Architects as suggested above. I refer to crayons. An engineer has a crayon box with 16 colors. An architect has a crayon box with 264 colors and uses terms like peach, mauve, and other such shades that mean absolutely nothing to a fire protection engineer like me. I use RED, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE and BLACK. But I really like RED.

Engineers draw boxes and straight lines, architects use french curves.

And why do drafters use black backgrounds when using AutoCAD? I feel like someone turned the lights off.

Mind if I borrow that FBG? I know a FPE or two that might enjoy it...
 
I think that in general languages use the masculine form as an inclusive term, so that "man" w/pencil etc. actually means "hu-man" w/pencil who sketch etc.

Posting here can be very informative, especially when you have to do the mental work it takes to frame a question. A certain amount of exposure to slings, arrows, sneers, and laughs is involved, however.
