I have no idea what cases are, but I find the idea of arbitrarily dividing the world into two genders and then conjugating all your words along that system to be maddening. At least French only has two; German has four.

An excessive number of verb tenses in also an annoyance. French has the present, the past, the other past, the future, the future simple, the future complicated, the conditional, the arbitrary, and the unconditional surrender. OK, so I made some of those up (and the surrender joke wasn't meant to refer to France's war record).[/colorost_uid0]
