It certainly makes a difference, @galenkp! I apologize that my reply already comes on top of the replies you get from your next post.
Not my girlfriend...
I thought it might be but I didn't know how to spell it, I just wanted to write a friend but let it be understood that I'm referring to a female (girl).
There is a problem here with my knowledge of English and I had a lot of problems understanding but also expressing myself in relation to word "friend". In Romanian, there are separate words for a male friend and a female friend, and in English only one for both genders (if I am not mistaken). When I read... I went out with a friend for a walk... I don't know if it was a woman or a man unless it is understood in context if the narrative pre-codes that somewhere.
