FAQ'sFrequently Asked Questions: Q: When you wrote your male-female dictionary, were you dating your co-author? A: No. Not only that, we were never in the same room while writing the book. In fact, we were never in the same state while writing the book! -Which I think helped a lot. Q: Did you guys fight a lot while you were writing the book? A: Yes. We fought by phone and e-mail. (See The Correspondence.) Q: Why is your name spelled wrong? Shouldn't it be Jenny Lynn Bader? But no, it's Jenny Lyn Bader, with one 'N.' A: My mother didn't want me to be called just Jenny Bader, the name Jenny was so popular at that time that if you said Jenny in a crowded room five or six girls would turn around... At one point even if you said Jenny Bader a couple of girls would turn around... Actually, she named me after the opera singer Jenny Lind. But she wanted me to have my very own spelling! Q: Seems there's a lot of ways to spell your name wrong, huh? A: Oh yes. I've seen Jennie Lynne Bader, Jenny-Lyn Bader, and, for those who think I'm related to the actor Mark, Jenny Linn-Baker. And many, many more. In programs or even in favorite publications or a random mention here or there. It's okay. There's a long history of alternate spellings. I'm only a small part of it. |
