Good grief. German is a gendered language, So is Spanish. which makes the Americans pushing "latinx" look estúpido.
From The Daily Mail:
Linguists slam Cambridge University for teaching 'woke' German: Fury as students are taught 'gender-neutral' version of the language that avoids using masculine forms that are not 'inclusive' to non-binary people
- Cambridge University is being criticised for its gender-neutral German course
- The course aims 'to use gender- and non-binary-inclusive language'
- Experts argue students using the new language will 'make a fool of themselves'
- One said he wouldn't recommend the undergrad course which totals £27,550
Linguists have slammed Cambridge University for teaching and encouraging students to speak a new form of gender-neutral German.
The university's 'inclusive language' section of the £9,250-per-year German course aims 'to use gender- and non-binary-inclusive language' in both speech and writing.
The push for inclusive language likely stems from German's use of the male form when referring to the plural form of words, which some argue is sexist and doesn't account for non-binary people.
However, experts argue attempting to converse in the 'woke version' of the ancient language 'stand a good chance of making a fool of themselves.'
Some linguists say they 'wouldn't recommend' the course to anybody - despite tuition costs for the undergrad degree totalling £27,550.........Oliver Baer, of the German Language Association, said non-native speakers attempting to chatter with Germans in the trendy new tongue are likely to get laughed out of the country.
Mr Baer, from Dortmund, said: 'My first reaction is it's like Monty Python is back....
