Computers gender,joke for everyone?

A French teacher was explaining to her college class that in French, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. House is feminine 鈥渓a maison.鈥?Pencil is masculine 鈥渓e crayon.鈥?br>



A student asked, 鈥淲hat gender is computer ?鈥?br> Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups male and female - and asked them to decide for themselves whether 鈥渃omputer鈥?should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for their recommendation.



The men鈥檚 group decided that 鈥渃omputer鈥?should definitely be of the 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 review; and



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



The women鈥檚 group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine le computer) because:



1.. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;



2.. They have a lot of data but still can鈥檛 think for themselves;



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



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



The women won !!
