Why would someone want to add gendered pronouns to a language

For adding specificity to lamguage. If you are talking about several people, the disambiguation can be handy.

We could have add pronouns that distinguish by size, or age, etc.

The really stupid feature of most indo-european is the arbitrary gendering of most nouns.

I’m a govt. contractor. I will retire the day before he’s swarn in. I’m not sure what I’ll do beyond that. A lot of Americans already retire to Costa Rica or Panama. I’ll have to decide whether to run away or stay & resist.

Biden’s going hard on diplomacy, most of which we don’t see. We do see some of the carrot and stick approach he’s using. The stick is the canceled shipment. The promise of future arms is the carrot he’s dangling in front of isreal.

Biden reeeeealy wants to see Netanyahu gone

The problem with Airplane is that you have to pay attention to appreciate it. That’s a little harder to do with invited guests

The Police Squad TV show failed because nobody was used to paying attention to TV.

+1000 for 12 Angry Men. A fantastic drama for a group to watch together.
