Which of these languages is the least logical?

[traininthedistance]

For most people it's probably actually English, but I voted German because I have a personal beef with that language.

And, for all of its admitted phonetical weirdness, English's huge-ass vocabulary picked up from all four corners of the earth and lack of grammatical gender are, I would argue, virtues rather than bugs.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is measuring what language is more illogical than what is bunk and unscientific.

Er, well, it is.

Couldn't agree more. The genders and endings of words changing based on what function they play is great not to have. German has three genders - masculine, feminine, and neuter, and there is often no logic whatsoever to it beyond the logical question, "What gender is a given object?" Girl (Mädchen) is neuter, for instance. The capitalization of nouns, though, is to me logical.

Ah, yes, "gender is useless", that's a common statement.  Certainly you support abolishing "she" and "he", then.  We can just use "it" for everything.  Finnish and Turkish seem to survive just fine without gender at all.  And "endings of word changing based on what function they play"; shall we abolish case, then, too?  "She saw him with her binoculars" becomes "it saw it with it binoculars"; hmm.

There's quite a difference between having gendered pronouns for people and animals who actually have gender, and slapping it onto each and every inanimate object for God knows what reason.
