> mfw while the Russians fight over stuff like "What gender is "coffee"?" and "Should we recognize "лoжить" as a word?" there are people in the English speaking world, who can't properly inflect the verb "to be".

>what gender is coffee
When taken out of context by someone who has no concept of grammatical gender, that sounds like we're a nation of triggered transqueer helicopters.
Also, that comma after "who" really shouldn't be there. It ruins the grammar nazi themed post.

"Coffee" is defined as a masculine in every dictionary in existence. But it sound too much like a typical neuter noun, so naturally a lot of people mistakenly treat is as one. Even those who do know that it's masculine often make that mistake in casual conversations.

The Americans are taught Spanish, the British are taught French. They should all know what grammatical gender is.

In the Russian language everything does.
If you think it doesn't make any sense, go ask the Germans why is "girl" neuter.

Because the Plural for "Mädchen" (Girl) is also "Mädchen" and the article for plurals is always "die" (which is also the female singular article), so if "Mädchen" was female, one couldn't know if you mean one girl or several girls if you say "die Mädchen".
"Frau" (Woman) is female, however, because the plural is "Frauen" and thus you can hear the difference between "die Frau" (the woman) and "die Frauen" (the women).
And sometimes certain articles just sound weird.
"Die Weib" (also Woman) sounds retarded, so it's "das Weib". Plural is "Die Weiber", so the plural argument doesn't apply here.

Not an issue in Japanese.
And no, that's not the reason. I just looked it up, turns out "das Mädchen" is a diminutive form of "die Maid" which is not used in modern German.

I know that's not the reason, I was just giving a reason why it would be retarded to make "Mädchen" a female word.
