wiffleball 4,793 Posted March 14, 2024 So one of the things on the nearly endless list of things that piss me off are romance languages. I hate them. For one very good reason. The whole masculine and feminine thing. I mean, it's just stupid. Wait a minute so the table ismasculine but the chairs are feminine? Or vice versa? Makes no sense whatsoever. In English and other languages, you have a common predecessor, THE. Or whatever. We're not trying to figure out whether it should be Tho, La,El,Los, Las, etc. Linguistically and practically, it's worthless. Sandwich=El Sandwich. Great, now you speak Spanish. But that's just background. French is just as goofy. How does that chit work now that everybody & everything can just randomly choose their pronouns? What if the chair identifies as a girl? The table as 'they"? The sammich as an Otter? Really, I don't know how that works now. They should just get rid of precedent articles all together . My .02.
