That's correct, Bucky, for English anyways. From what little I understand about the French language, verb conjugation is a bit easier than, say, the German language, where the conjugation looks more like this:
ich(I) -e wir(we)-(e)n
du(you)-st ihr(you, you guys, you all, y'all)-t
er(he, it)
sie(she, it)-t sie(they)-(e)n
es(he, she or it)
Plus the Formal "You," Sie-(e)n
In English, it looks something more like this:
I we
you you
he
she -s they
it
That's for regular verbs though. The English way to conjugate is far easier, either way.
EDIT: I use the German language here to show the difference between the "inflected languages," Bucky mentioned and others. I was merely completing his idea.
But what Thought is having a problem with is gender in grammar. Unlike most other languages, we give gender to individuals, but never to objects.
For example, in German, tables are masculine(der Tisch) cows are feminine(die Kuh) and windows are neuter(das Fenster), and are referred to in the third person as er(he), sie(she) and es(it) respectively.
In English, however, all objects and even non-human animals are all referred to as "it."
I'm assuming here that Thought is talking about referring to people in the third person.
Take for instance the sentence, "Someone dropped their pencil." This sentence is incorrect grammatically because only one person dropped a pencil. You could say "Someone dropped his pencil," "Someone dropped her pencil," or "Someone dropped it's pencil," and it would be grammatically correct, but it might be considered offensive to refer to a person as "it," a man as "she" or a woman as "he." Without prior knowledge of the person's gender, this can get a bit confusing and awkward. You could say "Someone dropped his or her pencil," but this sounds a bit awkward to the ear, and is a bit wordy.
I love this type of analysis though. I used to hate grammar, but since learning German I've found it fascinating to study and compare to various foreign languages.
My current frustration, how it seems like half the time I read this thread someone like Z or someone else like that starts a moral/religious (or something else like that) conversation which goes on for several pages and reading it will often frustrate me, but I know if I get involved I'll just get caught up in the debating and flaming which will just make the frustration worse and no opinions will be changed.
*Nervous chuckle* My bad Delta Dragon. I suppose I do carry on without regard to others here on the forum.
