There is a saying in computers that you should treat your servers like cattle, not pets. That is... don't give them names, just numbers, for example.
My response was, 'But my cattle are my pets.'

Re: I call Bull!!
"He" and "she" are personal pronouns. A bull is not a person. When people use personal pronouns for animals, that's the anthropomorphic fallacy. Next you get people considering pets as family members.

Wife: Jesus did it. Actually, I have no idea how gender worked in Aramaic/ancient Hebrew, other than the assumption that all the nouns were automatically gendered masculine or feminine.
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Was Jesus speaking King Jamesian, or does that quote say more about 1769 English grammar and gender than it does about Aramaic, Hebrew, or Greek?Soloist wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2026 2:09 pm Wife: Jesus did it.
