I don't know what it is off the top of my head. It's always a tough call with foreign words. But I think the tendency nowadays is to have it be masculine if it refers to a guy and feminine if it refers to a woman. But if the word is plural and there's at least one masuline individual then the word is masuline. Il est un geek. Sa femme est une geeke. Leurs enfants, Lise, Claire et Paul, sont des geeks. A family of geeks :) Bijan -- Bijan Soleymani <bijan@psq.com> http://www.crasseux.com
