m

You havent specified the language, so i wrote all of them in my newly created language where all words are written the same: "m"

No. Its a homograph. All words have different pronunciation and different meaning, so there are multiple genders

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Sure, but you only wrote one of them.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

If multiple words are written the same in this language, you dont need to write them all individually. They are still pronounced separately

if I said

"here are two different things that are spelled the same: bats"

would I be correct? I'd argue no

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

That is a feature specific to my newly invented language. Its not copied from english
