The Gender Genie

Today I received an email from S from Sweden telling me that she's also learning German through blogging. When I browsed around her site, I found this fun stuff - The Gender Genie, which claims to be able to determine one's gender from one's written text. So I immediately pasted my *selected* blog writings "Scheiss Tag!!!". I thought that having so many computer terms, the Gender Genie would think that the author is a male. Indeed, the Gender Genie did decide the author to be a male, but the analysis was very different from what I've thought, they use those little words like "the", "some", "like" etc. for the analysis. It's a little bit long to explain. Try it yourself. =)
