What Sex is your computer ?

A language instructor was explaining to her class    that in French, nouns unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine.

   "House," in French, is feminine - "la manson."
   "Pencil," in French,is masculine - "le crayon."

One puzzled student asked, "What gender is computer ?"

The teacher did not know, and the word wasn't in her
French dictionery.

So for fun she split the class in to two groups 
appropriately enough, by gender and asked them to
decide whether "computer" should be a masculine or
faminine noun.

Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.

The men's group decided that computers should definitely be of feminine gender ( "la computer " ) 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 retrireview

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find
   yourself spending half your pay cheque on   accessories for it.

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine (" le computer" ) because :

1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn
   them on 
2. They have lot of data but they are still clueless

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but
   half the time they ARE the problem

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realise that if
   you'd waited a little longer, you could have  gotten a better model.



Love,
Awara
