Words and Gender: Does Gender Differentiation Matter?

[Mirage]

No it isn't. You think it is. I think it isn't. I don't consider your opinion to be more valid than mine.

Yeah, but have you seen your opinion lately? It needs some work.

Seriously. Language is a dynamic force, infinitely adaptive and always evolving; and English is better at this then most. The only ones which don't, are dead languages.

I don't see any reason why this change has to be incorporated or it will suddenly go extinct.

Also you are saying that just because it once was, it will always be. That is false.

[Anachronous Rex]

Nothing that even approaches a refutation.

Just argumentum ad nauseam that "it's ridiculous."

Either you lack reading comprehension or you didn't bother or you are acting ignorant on purpose. Either way, what you requested is already there. The rest is upto you.

Yeah, we've all seen this song and dance before.

"I explained it earlier, which is why I can't explain it to you now."

You've done nothing to my posts that even approaches a refutation. Sorry to be repetitive, but it is true all the same.

Efficiency.

It's a running joke in this topic.

You remind me of Rorschach.

Wow. The intellectual obtuseness is too damn high.

Why use two words if you could use one?

Precisely, i don't want to get a sore throat. Clearly shortening the length of sentences has clear medical and health benefits.

It's in the Ontos of the thing.

And if somehow English did stop changing, all that would happen is there would suddenly be two Englishes. One that continued to change, and one the remained forever like a museum piece. Revered perhaps, but stuffed and mounted all the same, static and unused.

Because one's race/gender does not affect their ability to do their job or their job description, and is for the most part irrelevant in a professional context. If you need a specific race/gender, add the proper adjective in the description. You don't need a special word for it. That's just racist AND sexist.

No funnily enough my English schools did not teach me about American court cases. Strange old world isn't it!

A world that does not revolve around the US, what a mind-blowing realization. I must be taking crazy pills.

(on a sub-note why do you act like the US is the only nation in the world?)

I'm sorry, am I supposed to know where every user on this board comes from?

There 'ya go! Let's just numerate the combinations of all words on earth and just talk with codes!

Well since my arguments were different, you obviously haven't refuted them then, have you?

No but your should act with the possibility that people outside the US own computers and modem routers. By the way a Brit invented the Internet.

One's gender does affect their ability to an extent and it is relevant in some cases if not most. And "efficiency". If being truthful is racist and sexist, then yes it is.

I don't see any major difference to merit any special attention.

We did, but we just said what that sounds like. So difficult to get that into your "mouse" head? (see what I did there)

Or eyes to read the words inherent within.

If you put half the amount of effort you put into not addressing arguments, into addressing them, you might be decent at this.

Just because something happened in the past does not necessarily mean that is would also happen in the future.

I have a Touch pad, so you are correct. Not everyone will be online with a mouse.

Of course it does. Why would you ask such a silly question? Only on NationStates.
