  >all this masculine/feminine/neuter gender and
case stuff.  Confused the  hell
  out of me.
 m/f/n is no that difficult. Just different from language to language.  
 Well, no not really.  Simply doesn't exist in English.  Everything is um,
 neuter I guess, we don't have a term for it that we didn't pinch from
 another language actually. 
We certainly do have gender, but usually the forms are identical.  
Inflection in English is very restricted, compared say to German or the 
classical languages.  Since our adjectives have the same form for each 
gender, it's not noticeable, and hasn't been that way for say 800 years 
or so.
