the most realistic thing about FMA is that ed, as a 15 year old, has an undeniable knowledge of what it means to be badass in its purest and most fundamental form and that ed, also as a 15 year old, is only capable of having a fucking hideous sense of style, and so combined we get things like this

Older forms of English kept Latin’s gender-specific suffixes -tor and -trix; tor is for men and trix is for women. So a male pilot is an aviator, a female pilot is an aviatrix. A male fighter is a gladiator, a female fighter is a gladiatrix.
This contrasts with the modern system, where tor is for both men and women, and trix are for kids.
