ROTFL! Actually, it's *you* who cannot spell the word. It's correctly
spelled *androgynous*.
I wasn't spelling androgynous. Androgynous is an adjective. I created a
gerund out of it, hence the quotes around the word that I used.
You were also educated by government schools, I take it? They don't
teach grammar any longer.

These were quoted in our local "rag". See:

Take it up with our reporters.

As you wish. But I suggest you find a good spelling and grammar checker
before you attempt to correct someone's grammar next time.
