[edit] Unsourced info

I'm removing the following claim as it has been tagged with {{fact}} for several months:

• it is possible that future generations will see it [the term "man" in the generic meaning "human being"] as totally archaic, and use it solely to mean "adult male"

If anyone can find a source, feel free to re-add it. —Angr 20:51, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

How can there be a source that tells about the future? That makes no sense. Voortle 16:05, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's theoretically possible to find a source that makes that prediction. —Angr 21:49, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, at least to me, it seems that it already is the way stated in the prediction now. People rarely use "man" to refer to all humans. Voortle 00:07, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
