  First of all tables are male, and secondly at least we spell things close to how they are pronounced in german

    In Italian tables are gender fluid. You can have “la tavola” e “il tavolo”.

    Surfing? It’s a female: la tavola da surf.

    Eating? Male: il tavolo.

    Table as a metonymy for eating: la tavola (WTF?!)

      What’s worse is that even in languages with common ancestry, the gendered pronouns are not necessarily the same - the same thing can be male or female across a border.

    I was going to say it’s different because police officers are people, but they’re not.
