    I’ll try but please also be considerate of other users and the fact English isn’t everyone’s native language. English isn’t my first or only language. I will try my best but I will make this mistake often because this is difficult and I am not contributing to animal suffering because my native tongue doesn’t make this distinction at all.

        My native language that I only spoke until I was about 8 years old doesn’t make any distinction between gender or distinguish between living and non living objects. Everyone and everything is it and its lol.

        You can feel free to police language on Wikipedia or bring awareness to this, and I said I would keep this in mind and try but I don’t really want anyone policing users who may not speak English natively or have learning disabilities.

          That’s fair enough, That’s a cool way of speaking. As I always love hearing about how languages are unique.

          On another point Spanish and french have gendered words that are to keep track of lol.

              You can learn it if you keep practising learning the words and sentence structures like through apps like Duolingo or handbook guides like lonely planet or by speaking with others.

              I’m planning to learn b2 french that I will use to help with my Spanish (one wall I ran into is that I didn’t know enough words to describe certain things) when I get back to it lol.
