Hey buddy, if you’re gonna be that mad, at least be correct.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_type_of_grammatical_genders

Notice how “English” is listed there in the “No grammatical gender” list, which is what’s being talked about here.

Yes the ‘grammatical’ in the term ‘grammatical gender’ is the operative word. A GENEDERED language, has pronouns. Because I happen to be able to speak one of the few ungendered languages in the world I know what the term means.

In English, when we say “gendered language”, we mean “grammatically gendered language”, not just “language has gendered pronouns”.

Except somehow a Gender-neutral language is one that has no gender the way I described. So what is the opposite of a Gender-neutral language? Gender-inclusive? Gender-bias?
