>
> Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike
> English, nouns are designated as either masculine or
> feminine.
>
> 'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'
>
> 'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'
>
> A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'
>
>
> Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the
> class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to
> decide for themselves whether computer' should be a
> masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give
> four reasons for its recommendation.
>
>
> The men's group decided that 'computer' should
> definitely be of the feminine gender ('la
> computadora'), 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 retrieval; and
>
> 4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find
> yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
>
>
> (THIS GETS BETTER!)
>
> The women's group, however, concluded that
> computers should be Masculine ('el
> computador'), 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.
>
>
> The women won.
