*It could be argued that "Lady Chairman" is self-contradictory nonsense,
unless you're talking about a hermaphrodite. How about Chairwoman? I admit
that doesn't sound quite right but I think at least part of that is due to
the fact that the word "woman" has two syllables but the word "man" only
has one. *
