Bing Bong, the witch is dead.

Ah, thanks. I missed a "per movie".

And you're telling me that around 50.7 % of everything he said was the word "Motherfucker"? Somehow I can't believe that.

Femboys exist

He has always been Fe-male :P

There are labels for being attracted to traits associated with a specific gender, not the gender itself.

Google gynosexual :)

No, it's their big, annual conference where they hold presentations to talk about tradlife.

I mostly agree. Sorry if it came out that way, but my comment was not meant to be stating that English is way easier than German. Just wanted to point out that this "hard" and "useless" feature is not that useless and only hard for language learners.

Ist das eine deutsche Instanz? Ist dir Deutsch gerecht?

There's an argument to be made that it might help clarifying when speaking to someone. Consider these two German sentences:

"Der rote Apfel" – the red apple

"Die rote Ampel" – the red traffic light

Imagine a noisy environment, a quiet speaker or some other problem and you only understand

"Die rote Ael" – the red xxx

In a language like English, you don't have enough information to understand the meaning. The German gender system helps to direct your possible matching words (Ampel or Apfel) to the correct one, as "Die rote Apfel" is grammatically incorrect.

Another point I want to make is that it isn't "being worse in about a bazillion other" use cases. Native speakers don't really have an issue with noun class systems. It's just very unintuitive and tedious for non-native language learners to memorize all the genders of nouns.

Fair enough.

So what? English has eye, I and aye. Same pronunciation, different writing. You don't need three writing systems for that.

Not the fussy 😳

No. That is Batman corn holing himself.

Or enable swiping. I love swiping.

This thread is gold lmao

Don't worry, that was just an orthographical mistake. :D
