How do you always find these things?
I wonder if that's true about the gendered associations. I bet it is.
Mark Twain wrote a really funny essay about gendered nouns while he was learning German. One of the things he points out is that in German a turnip is female while an unmarried young woman is neuter.
I prefer bridges that aren't fragile.
