Believe it or not, we introduced a variant of bash brace expansion (except with implicit braces and dots instead of commas) in our grammar, named it “écriture inclusive”, and called it a day.

The way it kicks words previously loaded with neutrality in the curb but happened to have the same spelling as the gendered one, and entrenches a two-gender paradigm boggles the mind as to how it flies in the face of any form of inclusivity.

That and I still don’t know how to read “le.a fermi.er.ère” aloud. It’s just as ridiculous as “cédérom” because Astérix puts up a show at standing against the invader.
