NANCY NON SEQUITUR

A language instructor was explaining to her class that French nouns, unlike their English counterparts, are grammatically designated as masculine or feminine. "House," in French, is feminine — "la maison." "Pencil" is masculine —"le crayon." One puzzled student asked, "What gender is ‘computer’? The teacher did not know, and the word wasn’t in her French dictionary. So for fun she split the class into two groups by gender, appropriately enough, and asked them to decide whether "computer" should be a masculine or feminine noun. Both groups were required to give four reasons for their recommendation.

The actual word for computer in French is "l’ordinateur." Masculine.
