Okay - I stand corrected.Don't feel bad. I often fail to capitalise it as an adjective even though I know the rule. English is a most odd language.

My sister is a translator for a living. She tells me this is true and has done for many years. An example would be the English word "set". Such a simple word, but it has the most meanings of any word in the English language. When my sister told me that, my knee jerk was "No way", but start enumerating them. It becomes, very quickly, difficult to stop enumerating them.Okay - I stand corrected.Don't feel bad. I often fail to capitalise it as an adjective even though I know the rule.

They say English is the hardest language for a non-English speaker to learn. It has so many times when rules apply except in that case, words which appear exactly the same but depend on context for meaning, etc.

We also don't have accidence like German.
Yes, I was struck but the weirdness of das Madchen. Maybe it is so perverts don't get the wrong idea.
...Latin where the noun itself changes and there needs to be declensions to organise the rules. And Latin has more cases. Latin has more of everything. It is its life goal to conjugate for every degree of freedom: person, number, tense, voice, mood. Mercifully it doesn't go the semitic route and add gender to that.
I'm not aware of a language that has a different version of we for the inclusive and the exclusive.
