[Ads-l] From a headline:

[Wilson Gray]

"The All-_Women_ Mariachi Group"

Shouldn't that be "the all-_woman_ mariachi group"? Or should one of the
wonders of my lost youth have been "Phil Spitalny and his All-_Girls_
Orchestra" and not "... his All-_Girl_ Orchestra"? Or is this one of those
changes like the shift of e.g. American "this, that, and the other" to
British "this, that and the other." Or should that be, '... and the other'.?
