[Avodah] Moda ani

>>For those, who were surprised that I was surprised at the  artscroll 
women's siddur use of Modeh, thinking that moda was more in their  "not 
modern" type nusach, remember that artscroll did put the brackets  around 
the "male bits" in Tefilla Zaka.   <<

I always have the feeling, when saying Tefila Zaka, that whoever composed  
it never imagined that it would be recited by women.  Actually most  years I 
skip most of it, except for the one paragraph I want to be sure to  say  
("I forgive everybody.....") (And then I always pause for a  second before 
saying "Ani mochel" -- wondering every year for just one second if  I should 
"fix" the grammar....)
 
PS  Putting in brackets is not the same as changing words!   Although the 
use of punctuation  _is_ refreshingly modern....
