La Casa vs El hospital. What determines the gender of each? Spelling is great, but this piece boggles the mind.

Suffix -a mostly female, Suffix -al mostly male. There are exceptions but it's a good rule of thumb.

And then you get - el agua

Feminine. With feminine adjectives. El agua clara. But you have to use "El".

Spanish is still way more consistent than English tho

I’m sure there’s etymological reasons, but in practice ‘la hospital’ being less pleasant to say (with two vowel sounds directly next to each other) probably contributed. Like how it’s el agua, even though any adjectives for it are feminine: el agua contaminada.

Reminds me of the time when I forgot if the Latin word for bedroom is -a or -um... (it was cubiculum btw, apparently all rooms are gender neutral)

And if you get it wrong you'll be forever banned from blahaj.

mistakes = ok
purposefully using the wrong pronoun = not ok

is it that difficult? I don't understand why you're so upset about a gender diverse instance enforcing their rules 🤷‍♀️

Fake. If that was me, those baguettes would be gone within 0.3 nanoseconds.
