My Fellow Chordates

The PC Police are careful to ensure that everyone uses inclusive language, however we must all draw the line somewhere. I draw mine at the Phylum Chordata. I address all my co-workers Gentlechorates, for example. It seems to me the spinal chord is what separates us humans, sharks and hagfish from the ganglion driven world of worms. I call making things second nature, “Putting it in the spinal chord.” Like any good reflex, that is where our quickest surest actions take place. To whit: we're really not that much different from chickens!
