This is the reason. If you have multiple or existing ones you have the ability to match the lock number to use the same key for existing and new locks. If you buy different items that require locks you buy locks with the same number straight away.

The Tiger gained the dubious distinction of being the first jet aircraft to shoot itself down. On 21 September 1956, during a test-firing of its 20 mm (0.79 in) cannons, pilot Tom Attridge fired two bursts midway through a shallow dive. As the trajectory of the cannon rounds decayed, they ultimately crossed paths with the Tiger as it continued its descent, disabling the aircraft and forcing Attridge to crash-land the aircraft; he survived with a broken leg and multiple broken vertebrae.

I think just saying that it hit itself due to its high speed doesn‘t really tell the whole story.

He did not invent the modern computer but contributed significantly to the modern theory of computation. There is no single person who invented the computer, it was a collective effort over decades, if not centuries, ref. Leibniz, Lovelace, Bool, von Neumann, Weizenbaum, and many more.

Is that any different from any other company that sells electronics, except perhaps Fairphone?

That would be another advantage if we had a form that clearly eliminates the gender.

The problem people have with the Generischer Maskulinum is, that it is exactly that, the male plural form.

I prefer the elimination of gender by using the participle because I think it’s easier to read and say, e.g. instead of Student:In you say Studierende (I guess also using the genderless plural of the participle, similar to the English concept). I’m not sure what the equivalent for Bürger would be though. Geborgene?

What did you call me?

For the lazy:

“Do you use gender pronouns?”

In contrast to Mädchen the equivalent for Junge, „Jüngchen“, has not entered officialese and is seldomly used in colloquial language.

And it is also „das Jüngchen“.

How I know?

Off-topic: If the top comment is exactly the additional detail I wanted to know about I have an old school Reddit moment, in the very best way.
