===Gender===
'''Gender''' is an attribute of [[noun]]s, [[pronoun]]s, and [[adjective]]s in some [[language]]s. A word's grammatical gender may or may not correspond to the gender of what the word describes. Grammatical genders need not be limited to masculine and feminine, depending on the language; typical gender distinctions include masculine/feminine, masculine/feminine/neuter, and animate/inanimate. Not all languages have grammatical gender; for example, some languages have a single pronoun corresponding to the English "he," "she," and "it."
