| Active Forumer ![]() | A Spanish Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. 'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.' 'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.' A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?' Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because: 1 No one but their creator understands their internal logic ; 2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else; 3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because: 1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on; 2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves; 3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and 4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. So what you think ? |

But it doesn't matter in some languages, it is just the form the noun is used in sentences, Every single object has a gender regardless of the sexual parts.....lol like in Slovak: the chair is feminine, the table is masculine, the road is feminine, the bus is masculine and so on... there is also a middle gender (for verbs) car, belongs there, and the door, plane, heart, even girl and baby or child.......lol, The woman is feminine, man and boy are masculine, then the animals....... the dog, rat, horse is masculine, the cat, mouse, cow is feminine, the chicken, pig, even puppy or kitten is in the middle group English is one of the easiest languages to learn for there are no genders, some use of verbs and past tenses is the hardest task to master..... | |

| VIP Team | Maybe he was trying to say that if he had his way all people using languages with masculine and feminine nouns would be deported from America or immediately executed? That way there'd be no masculine or feminine nouns in America. |
