> Do you speak any languages other than English?
yes
> Gender in linguistics is better referred to as noun classes and should not be conflated with societal notions of gender.
grammatical gender has been referred to as synonymous to noun classes for decades, obviously varies language to language but this isn't a correction but rather your opinion :)
> And calling a language outdated is deeply ignorant, and borders on xenophobic.
what do you mean? im divorcing any notion of region, politics or cultural context to something as broad as a language like the article is doing! i dont REALLY mean anything negative when trying to discuss weaknesses of these classes of languages by making broad statements, im just noting that the field of research would make these choices inappropriate as a comparison to english using the same sterile tone as the article.
> And Hangul is not a language, it’s a writing system.
i meant writing in korean (too implicitly, my mistake), does it change that statement? :)
