    This could sure wake a lot of us up. Imagine speaking a non gender language. What would we say in dropping off gender based pronouns? Would it change what we said? Can we handle a non gender pronoun way of talking to each other?

    I grew up speaking Finnish and Turkish and none of the languages distinguish between "he" and "she". However, both languages - obviously - have separate words for "man" and "woman".
