It’s a rare example of English being simpler than other languages, so I’m curious if it’s hard for a new speaker to keep the nouns straight without the extra clues.

    Non-gendered wording isn’t exclusive to English. Asia exists.

    I wasn’t trying to imply otherwise.

    Thanks for the insight!

      Chinese is even cooler in that they don’t need different, often irregular versions of the same word for tense and plural either.
