OCCASIONAL RANT NO. 7:
From an article in "Open" magazine -- "My first grown-up book was Jeffrey Archer’s As the Crow Flies, gifted by a cousin sister at 16."
Who is this "cousin sister" (or "cousin brother" as the case may be)? Do only we Indians use this phrase?
Write "cousin" or, if necessary, "female cousin", or "my cousin Nirmala" (as an example).
