>

>

>"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.

>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.
