EDIT: IDK if it's true, but I'd be more paranoid of getting my stuff stolen if the person coming into my home was only earning minimum wage.

Cheap cameras fix this. There's an interesting bit about this in the book Nickel and Dimed where this female journalist goes into a number of low-paying jobs for the story. One of them was a cleaning business like this, and they were instructed to not even cuss aloud when they were in the homes, even if no one was home, because of hidden microphones and cameras being so common. Pretty interesting stuff.

Fiancee* (it's a gendered noun)

She's usually the one manning the camera in those situations.

Fiancee* (it's a gendered noun)

* Fiancée

It's a French word with an accent aigu. Not that I care, but if you're going to correct someone else's language, you kind of have to get it right yourself, which of course is why I googled the correct term for the accent, instead of calling it a stupid French language symbol.

Then why the fuck are you using gendered nouns.

There are numerous gendered nouns in American English like blond, blonde and faggot.
