@egreg Very odd indeed. Cymraeg here means Welsh speaker/speaking. (It is 'Welsh' in the sense of the language.) Cymro is a Welshman. Nothing about loudness or loudspeakers at all.

Feminists are unlikely to appreciate the attempt at courtesy. There is nothing impolite about 'women'.

And other women were told that 'ladies' do not sit on the steps eating pizza. 'A lady does not...' is a standard way of curbing freedom - ladies not not shout or run or climb trees or where trousers or...
