I wrote something about LLMs, but I didn’t like it, so it’s gone now. Suffice it to say that they annoy me with their free time and their cooking skills, even though they are extremely nice people with interesting backgrounds and good stories. It balances out in the end, I think.
On a somewhat related note, why doesn’t English have gendered nouns? This seems like information I should know, but I don’t. Someone has to be able to help me. CM? Bueller? Anyone?

LLMs are way cool.
Why should English have gendered nouns? It never has.

I think we need gendered nouns, right freaking now. I’ve always wondered who gets to pick the gender of new nouns in Spanish? Like for instance: computadora. Why is the computer a female gendered item? Most computer geeks are guys!

CM:
I’m probably way off base here, but didn’t English, Spanish, etc. all come from Latin? And didn’t Latin have gendered nouns? I was just wondering why Spanish still has them and English doesn’t.
Anon. L.S.:
Gendered nouns would be fun, but what I could really use is a neutral pronoun to use instead of he/she.
Also: Exactly. Computer geeks are (mostly) male. Computers are female. Maybe you haven’t spent enough time around computer people to understand the attachment that develops between a geek and his computadora. It’s a bond only a new processor line can break…

English is more of a germanic language, really. Definite latinate influences in some vocabulary (mainly inherited from the French/Normans who conquered England), but the grammar is Anglo-Saxon/Germanic.

Awesome. That helps explain things. Thanks, J.
