La Casa vs El hospital. What determines the gender of each? Spelling is great, but this piece boggles the mind.
I’m sure there’s etymological reasons, but in practice ‘la hospital’ being less pleasant to say (with two vowel sounds directly next to each other) probably contributed. Like how it’s el agua, even though any adjectives for it are feminine: el agua contaminada.

And if you get it wrong you'll be forever banned from blahaj.
mistakes = ok
purposefully using the wrong pronoun = not ok
is it that difficult? I don't understand why you're so upset about a gender diverse instance enforcing their rules 🤷♀️
