[Ads-l] "gay" avoidance

[Jonathan Lighter]

A few years ago - six or seven, maybe - my grandson was learning to sing
"Deck the Halls."

The words in the book were, "Don we now our fine apparel."

And here's a recording of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again" with the
words, "And we'll cheer the day when Johnny comes marching home."
