Which is why I never do, obviously.

This is one of those things that, if translated directly, would be really, really bad.

Now I've spoken English for more than a quarter century, so my mouths used to it already, but I remember when learning the language, it was rather hard for the brain to keep switching between "he" and "she", as it was not a distinction my brain had to make before using English.

I mean obviously I could differentiate women and men, but having to use different pronouns for both?

Quite needless.
