Yes, it actually is.

English owes its expressiveness as well as its confusion to its “diversity” - which libs ought to love. It’s a mish-mash of languages, really.

Other languages are a bit restricted and yet also cumbersome - anyone for gender? (The only true meaning of the word!)

It really makes me mad when I have to fill out a form and it asks for my gender instead of sex. If I am in a rotten mood I will scratch out the word 'gender" and write in "sex."

True! French for example is filled with what would be known as gender stereotyping : Le bureau (the office) La maison (the home) etc etc... The French are doubtless trying to do something about that, however! ;)
