Why is every other British woman between the ages of 18-35 named "Sarah"???
(Pronounced "SAHR-ahhhh" here.)

And why do Brits insist on referring to women over the age of 18 as "girls"? I'm not just talking about in everyday speech. I talking newspapers, adverts, even the police. Just last week there was a poster in the Tube from the police seeking identification of a missing woman. It contained a security camera photograph of the woman and stated she was 28 years old. Above her photo, in giant 72-point type, the headline read: "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GIRL?"
