Bisexual, not bysexual.

So . . . why is it 'Homosexual (man)' and 'Homosexual (woman)', but only 'Heterosexual (all)'? Doesn't that skew the results slightly? And isn't it 'bisexual', not 'bysexual'?

(So I'm a nitpicker. Sue me. ;))

The correct orthographical spelling is "bisexual". I have no idea where it came from, since "bi-" is the latin numeric prefix, yet the Latin word for "two" is duo. Though we do sometimes use "duo-" in words such as "duet", but not often. Just to continue, if anyone's interested, the Greek prefixes for "two" are "di-" and "dy-", which came from dyo / duo / di.

two things ok I mispelled it, and second I thought someone would tell me about the Man, woman thing, I wrote that because once I was talking to a woman and she said, people call me a homo, or a gay, I prefer lesbian, so I just wrote Homo woman so I wouldnt have to write lesbian because that might affend some people, dont ask why.

I've got a major hard-on for Condoleeza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld. What does that make me?

so I just wrote Homo woman
In an interesting twist, "sex" comes from the Latin sexus. Yet the "homo" in "homosexual" comes from the Greek homos, same. The Latin version would be homo, man, which would mean that the word is bastardised. "Homosexual" really should, etymologically speaking, mean someone who is sexually attracted to men.

Edit:
Also, "sexual" is derived from the Latin sexualis, which came from sexus.
