Hey no problem. Its often hard for us to figure things out, too. English kind of really sucks in this department.
Eh. Yeah, but at least we don't give objects genders, right? :D
French is worse. There's literally no concept of gender-neutrality, so if you want to convey something as being gender-neutral you either have to use only the masculine word/pronoun or both the masculine and the feminine. I honestly have no idea how enbies classify themselves in languages (like French) without gender-neutral pronouns.
That's something that most languages need to work on.
Yay Latin for having an entire neuter gender (granted, the community of latiniloquentes still tends to use the masculine gender for nonbinary people, as this was the "default", "neutral" gender to the Romans -- referring to someone using their neuter gender would be a bit like calling someone an it in English: there are people who are okay with that, but they are very, very few and far between. The Romans had different ideas of gender than we do, anyway).
Well, that's probably where French gets it from, and since English is basically the bastard offspring of French and German, it explains English, too.
Fvcking Latin, man.
English isn't really a daughter of French and German, more a sister; but y'know.
Incest.
English is a Lannister tongue.
Who says English is female?
I do.
Languages tend to be feminine in English. In many ways we do have grammatical gender, we just don't account for it in most of our morphology. But you can see it in boats, in languages, in cars, in many nations (England and Russia are always Mother England and Mother Russia, no?), and in certain words (waiter vs. waitress).
I think that has more to do with object gender than language gender.
And waiter... Well... Waiter is a nounification of the verb "wait", which is in turn from the old french word "waitier" or the middle English word "waiten", and waitress existed as a word only since the 19th century.
English eats sh*t.
I return, mothatruckers. Bow before meeeee
Welp, Darren Wilson wasn't indicted. Big surprise.
...
When can we induce a meritocratic socialist state for the good of the people?
I'm sorry, but who are you?
I'm not opposed.
^This.
Chap from P2TM, slightly older than most. Inritus and him are more obscure than our standard denizens.
Well I know TIE (been in many an RP with him), but this Kon guy is completely unknown to me (which is somewhat surprising, considering I've been around for a decent amount of time myself). It doesn't matter much anyway; I just generally dislike it when people I don't know start proclaiming that people should bow before them and whatnot.
Hi Kona!
Kona is small on the forum and a friend of mine, but is not particularly active. Never was, as far as I could tell.
... I don't know why he proclaimed we should bow down.
There's too many people in new Zealand obsessing over this Ferguson stuff.
TK will missed you, Kon. Excalibur, especially. (I'm AA)
We're formerly part of Excalibur Squadron.
Weird coinkadink, since I'm currently part of Excalibur Squadron.
Altito Asmoro joined Excalibur Squadron for a while until I was kicked out for poor grammar and one-liners (There are times when I reverted back to one-liners...) and Konariona was holding out and stay active.
You joined by the time when almost all of the first generation (Lancearc, me, Kon(?) etc went inactive or kicked out)
