Comment on English may be a hot mess but at least we don't have to worry about this nonsense

I never heard anybody say la machine à laver la vaisselle, it sounds way too verbose, everyone says le lave vaisselle

Because “people” (my french self included) would just say “la machine à laver” and out of context, you’d figure out which of the 2 is actually talked about. Also why I initially said it was a “she”.
