A several weeks ago, I found a trailer for Transamerica on the Apple website here:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/weinstein/transamerica/

In composing this page, someone had changed the pronouns to male, referring to Bree as "he".  I twice emailed the webmaster, asking that correct pronouns be used and received no response.  I then called Apple Corporate headquarters and complained.  I was assured someone would look into it.  Nothing changed though I just received a call back from Apple Corporate (I was surprised) saying they were working on it, but that the division responsible for this site was not responding to their queries either.  I hope a few of you will take the time to call or complain as well whether you see it as futile or not.  Pronouns are very personal to most of us--corporations and the media should get them right.  It's our job to tell them when they don't.
