From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/man
| 1. | an adult male person, as distinguished from a boy or a woman. |
| 2. | a member of the species Homo sapiens or all the members of this species collectively, without regard to sex: prehistoric man.
|
| 3. | the human individual as representing the species, without reference to sex; the human race; humankind: Man hopes for peace, but prepares for war. |
| 4. | a human being; person: to give a man a chance; When the audience smelled the smoke, it was every man for himself. |
[ and many more definitions]
As you can see, #2 and #3 clearly support the usage of man as I used it. |
Sure - thanks for explaining. =)
