  1. Somewhat counter-intuitively, there are multiple linguistic forms, where for gendered pronoun, grammatical, chronological or geographic reasons, the way of saying things which is twice as many sylables as the alternative, is actually, either in meaning, context or syntax, "simpler". However, as an English speaker I could not give you an example.
