RE: [Puzzle|WordSearch]STEM Saturday #25 Promoted Post Word Search
I actually have some coworkers in Germany and one of them had mentioned a language reform effort where they were trying to make the language genderless. Not sure if that's the same one you're mentioning or not.
I'm struggling to learn the gendered version of the language in DuoLingo, so I really hope I don't go through all this effort just to have them throw some other version of the language at me. ;-)
This is a very sensitive issue. This development is controversial and does not concern spelling or grammar. But it's not the same one.
The German language is already difficult enough for foreign speakers. I think you only need the gendered version if it is considered necessary for the business relationship.
I don't think I'll ever be able to speak or write in German, but I'm hoping to get to the point where I can read the German language email threads that sometimes land my inbox, so hopefully it will be slow to change. ;-)
