Computers
« on: June 09, 2007, 01:24:39 AM »
A language instructor was explaining to her class that in French,
nouns unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically
 designated as masculine or feminine. "House," in French,
is feminine - "la maison.""Pencil," in French, is masculine
 "le crayon."

One puzzled student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"
The teacher did not know, and the word wasn't in her French
 dictionary. So for fun she split the class into two groups
 appropriately enough, by gender and asked them to decide
whether "computer" should be a masculine or feminine noun.
Both groups were required to give four reasons for their
recommendation.

The men's group decided that computers should definitely be
 of the feminine gender ("la computer"), 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;
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 ("le computer"), because:

1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but they are still clueless;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time
they ARE the problem;
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you'd waited
 a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
