I have a hard time with languages like German and Latin that use gender, because they're always wrong. Like in German, "tree" is male. But for me, "tree" has always been female. Using the wrong gender can screw up the whole sentence. There are also people that I don't like just because their names are a bad shape, color, or taste. Can't stand Tina. Tina could be the nicest person in the world and I would always dislike her because of her unfortunate name's flavor.
