    German is so weird. They came up with the concept of a neutral gender, but objects that obviously have no real gender (tables, boxes, sunglasses) don’t use neuter.

    Like, what’s the process when they create a new word.

    “Computer”… hmm, I think it’s female.

    Nah, it’s neuter.

    You guys are idiots, he’s obviously male!

    Oh yeah, Gunther is right! Look at him!
