Softwords: Thank you. Wow. See I never knew that there was a difference or distinction of the meaning of Gentile, which also was so pronounced in halacha.

Weird because I also thought the word gentleman was derived from gentileman (and gentle as well from gentile), and it was generally understood as a good thing.
