Oh wow, do I come out with some random things sometimes.  Like the time I once asked my fiancee about the Turkish language.  French and Spanish, for example, have masculine and feminine words in their vocabulary, but Turkish and Chinese don’t.  Their word for “he” is the same as the word for “she” and the word for “it”.
