[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am writing reports for some people I manage. I am giving commendations to a few women and while I know that technically, if female, the word brava applies instead of bravo, I wonder if following the letter of that rule is pretentious? Also, I worry that people who may not be familiar with that technicality will think I had a typo or got the word wrong. :) Thoughts from the gallery? TIA. [/quote] It is both pretentious and wrong. "Bravo" goes for the performance itself (it's like saying Great!), regardless of the gender of the performer[/quote]
