A SPANISH Teacher

 

Was explaining to her class

that in Spanish, unlike English,

nouns are designated as either

masculine or feminine.

"House"

for instance,

is feminine:

"

la

casa."

"Pencil,"

however,

is masculine:

"

el

lapiz.."

A student asked,

"What gender is 'computer'?"

Instead of giving the answer,

the teacher split the class into two groups,

male and female,

and asked them to decide

for themselves whether

"

computer

"

should be

a masculine or a feminine noun.

Each group was

asked

to

give four reasons

for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that

"

computer

"

should definitely be

of the feminine gender

("

la

computadora"),

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; and

4.

As

soon as you make

a commitment to one,

you find yourself spending

half your paycheck

on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)

The women's group,

however, concluded

that computers should be Masculine

("

el

computador"),

because:

1. In order to do anything

with them,

you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data

but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are

supposed

to

help you solve problems,

but half the time

they ARE the problem; and

4. As soon as you commit to one,

you realize that if you

had waited a little longer,

you could have gotten

a better model.

The women won.
