[R-390] Language Usage

[Spence Barton]

I can't help wondering if Perry is objecting to Hammond 
"Organism". At a quick glance it might be mistaken for a the 
technical term having to do with sexuality. If that's not 
it, I can't imagine what the offending word or phrase might 
be. Can't stop doing it if we don't know what it is.
