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.
gollark: I don't mean distinguishing words which are the same except in gender, that's stupid.
gollark: You know what would be cool? Dynamically generate new API versions for no reason.
