使用する際の注意点

• To more explicitly include people regardless of gender, the suffix -person or a synonym, for example police officer instead of policeman, can be used.
• Frequently employed in the names of male comic book characters, e.g. Aquaman, Batman, Spider-Man, Superman.
• The pronunciation can either have a full vowel or a schwa, but they are not in free variation; some words formed with this suffix can be used with only one of the possible pronunciations.
