You're thinking of cases (e.g. nominative, predicative, possessive,
etc.).
Russian, Latin, and Polish have seven cases, German four, English
three.
No language I'm aware of has more than three genders: masculine,
feminine, and
neuter.
You haven't been studying U.S. bureaucratize.
We have (at least) male, female, gay, lesbian, and various incarnations of
"transgender."
Is there a politically correct bureaucratize description for
"pecker head"? :-)
TDD
