And would that in turn make Mandarin, which doesn't even use definite articles, an embryonic language.
But no, I just ordered a banana lassi and some toast...
I consider it boorish to look under a chair to see what gender it is.

Well, not that strange. Many languages have stronger grammatical gender than English does. Even inanimate objects can have "gender" which will determine if it gets a masculine, feminine or (in some languages) neuter adjective or article, for instance. Der DJ and die DJ might grate on German-speaking ears without further gender distinction. The Romance languages are even stronger with the gendered nouns, often with distinctive endings and declension. Anyone out there with specific examples from their own languages?

Yes...I actually minored in German in college.  That makes sense.. and B said that 'die DJin' wouldn't really sound good, so I guess that's why they came up with DJane. They kinda thought 'DJay' even though they know that 'DJ' actually is an abbreviation of 'disc jockey'. Danish used to have more of a separation too, but they kinda got rid of it.

Speaking of gender specificities and rrrrromance languages (have to rrrroll the rrrrr), it's interesting to note that in spanish the vulgar terms for genitals are gender inverse. That is, "vulgar penis" has a female ending and "vulgar vagina" has a male ending. As such, you'd use "La" with the male and "el" with the female term. Reminds me of a movie I saw once actually...
Hmmm... "vulgar penis"...where's that Name My Band thread...
