gollark: It's gender recognized somewhat in grammar.

gollark: A sentence like "He said that she was a dodecahedron" would, without genders, be "E said that e was a dodecahedron".

gollark: Quite often, possibly.

gollark: I mean that you can get more "variables" by using pronouns (if/he/she/they) because they have genders.
