Seems to me that the Dewey thing might be revised as
(borrowing/adapting/modifying from the post that seems to have led to this
whole thread):

> 100  We think and understand
> 200  We believe
> 300  We live in groups
> 400  We have a language
> 500  We explore the world around us
> 600  We make things
> 700  We are artists and athletes
> 800  We write our thoughts in stories, poems, and more
> 900  We exist in place and time
> 000  Everything else

That retains the punchy conciseness AND might draw the learner into the
scene -- and it totally works around the dispute over perceived
gender-specificity.

Whatcha think?  If you like it, pass it along ...
