Ah, me. Language am a demanding taskmaster, amn't she?


Pardon my audacity, Wordwind, for correcting an English teacher,
but it is not standard to use the female gender when referring to "language".
Especially in a sentence where the predicate is "am a demanding taskmaster".

"Taskmaster" is obviously masculine and as such it must be in agreement with its referent - "language".
Don't you agree?

On the same hand the word "weasel" takes a feminine form.
All the weasels that I've have ever known, but two, have been women.
But I won't bother to ask if you agree.
