A language teacher was explaining to
her class that in French, nouns, unlike their English counterparts, are
grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.
"House" in French, is
feminine - "la maison"
"Pencil" in French, is masculine - "le crayon".
One
puzzled student asked, "What gender is computer?" The teacher did not know, and
the word was not in her French dictionary. So for fun, she split the class into
two groups, appropriately enough by gender, and asked them to decide whether
"computer" should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Both groups were required
to give four reasons for their recommendation.
The men's group decided
that computer should definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computer"),
because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2.
The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored
in long term memory for possible later review; and
4. As soon as you make a
commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories
for it.
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be
masculine ("le computer") because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you
have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for
themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the
time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize
that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better
model.
