Whoever writes with h ...
The last letter in the Latin alphabet is z, but the last letter of the word 'namely' is h - so who is stupid? Empty (or in individual cases perhaps teachers) or pupils who realise at the age of eight that the teacher teaching them is not documenting any approach to intelligence or language education with these supposedly joking words?
One could simply explain the origin of the word, which goes back to 'name' (the short form of namentlich), and not to 'take'; for anyone who utters such slogans should also know that children already understand this.
There is no record of whether gendering began with this thoughtless mnemonic, but where words come from has facilitated spelling for generations. For example, there was the little word 'man' (see also at the beginning of this paragraph), which served as a generalisation for 'human' and was invoked by feminist pranksters or infiltrating pranksters to be replaced by 'woman'. Clever thing to do.
It continues with the form of address: for example, it says 'Dear Ladies and Gentlemen', but for individual persons 'Mr Heidelberg' is used and unfairly 'Ms Würzburg', which should then consistently be 'Dame Würzburg'. The fact that the form of address 'Frau' comes from the Middle High German 'Fron' and means 'Herr' is deliberately overlooked and it is insisted that 'Mann Heidelberg' would then also be correct.
In the English language, no one complains that 'man' means both man and man, after all, one of the most significant sayings went down in history almost 52 years ago when trumpet musician and later professional cyclist L. Armstrong walked on the moon and precisely juxtaposed man/man and manhood/humanity with his words.
The Anglicism 'gendern' is thus already paradoxical, since it does not exist at all in Anglo-Saxon with the meaning that divides our Germanic nation. One of the Urgermanic literary cabaret artists, Jürgen von Manger, reported as Tegtmeier on his trip to the USA to explain to the waitress of the restaurant 'Der Wienerschnitzel' that it should not be called 'the wienerschnitzel' but 'the wienerschnitzel' ...
The problem today is that with the feminine form the masculine is excluded, while the masculine, if it is the original, includes the feminine. So in every case there is discrimination against at least one gender, not to mention the rape of language itself. Every guest in a round of talks can sing a song about this - and the author is glad that song is a neuter term, which it is simply not possible to make gender-neutral, because it already is.
It certainly won't be long before people question whether the stars (also a neutral word, phew, lucky) can't be better gendered. After the idea of a meteorologist in the 1950s to give low-pressure areas women's names and high-pressure areas men's names was finally overturned, because it must be a tremendous insult for every woman and every man to be able to differentiate something on the basis of the nomen/name, in future a distinction will be made between whether the moon or the moon and above all the sun is meant - depending on who is looking at it at the moment and feels that they are not being treated in a politically correct way.
In any case, satire is a masculine word, so it will soon be called 'the satir' - at least a step forward.
