It makes me really mad to think that people are actually trying to teach kids a rule like this. It's an antiquated, dumb way to teach (see? that sounds fine despite breaking the rule) and focusing on pedantic bullshit like that will actively hurt kids ability as writers.

If memory serves that's one of those "hey let's be a Romance language now" things. Latin did have some funky rules on that sort of thing which actually made sense in its language structure. English, of course, is a Germanic language that gives no shits about such rules at its core but a batch of scholars decided that English should have a lot of stupid rules like that like all the cool kid Romance languages do.

It's stupid.

Yeah same
There were only 3 but those two were constant mains.

Also, Gogo is explicitly unknown gender, no?

I think there are a few times Gogo was referred to as "he" in the translation but yeah, the description is "this person is wearing too drat many clothes to tell and has an indeterminate voice so :shrug:." Gogo is just...well, Gogo.

Some might say that politic's is the ultimate meme awooo (wolf howl)

Politics is a compound word made of the original parts "poly" meaning "many" and "ticks" meaning "revolting blood sucking insects."
