Dear Kenneth,

Her reply is below:
Good luck!

Riki,
I do not think that such a resource exists (or at least one that I know
of); I can think of partial lists in various studies, but I don't think
that I have ever seen a comprehensive one. I wonder if some of the
guides on nonsexist usage have more comprehensive lists....
Best,
Anne
