5. At the most, in any tense, there are only two conjugations.
4. Most of the world’s movies are produced in English.

Andy, there is onomatopoeia in this language, except it's completely different. Cats in America go, "Meow, meow," or "mew, mew," but here, apparantly, they go, "mees, mees." Now tell me...WHAT'S THAT ABOUT.
I know you have it in your list but I think it should be said again. No gender. A chair isn't male or female. IT'S A CHAIR!!!!!
