I’m curious as to what the initial purpose of gendering every noun would be, since (from what I understand) it doesn’t really change the meaning of the sentence, just the form of certain words. Also, since English evolved from many of the ~~Romance~~ European languages that do have gendered nouns, why do we not use them in English?

iirc the old english had gendered nouns, but middle english lost them.
Not sure, but commenting just to stay on the post and see what the actual answer is when someone smarter comes
