Re: Deciding gender for unknown objects

I agree as a German: There is no logical rule whatsoever.

There are even differences between Swiss German and high German: Here it is "das Cola" (the coke) while in Germany it is surely "die Cola". Same goes for "das E-Mail" (CH) or "die E-Mail" (D).
So, if even the native German speakers can't agree on this nonsense, I don't see why I should bother with it.
