PrincEsses analogy[edit]

I came up with the following analogy in an attempt to make Binnen-I clearer to non-German speakers:

The use of Binnen-I in German is as if we used princEsses in English as a gender-neutral term meaning princes and princesses.

But this is OR, so can't be used in the article. If anyone finds this (or something similar) in a reliable source, please link it here or add it to the article. (Or, if you have a language blog and feel like adding it, please do, and then we can mention it here and use you as a reference. ) Mathglot (talk) 22:11, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Expand article[edit]

This article was created from scratch, and is not derived from the German de:Binnen-I, thus there is no attribution or translation statement here or in the history as of rev. 825866656.

It's kind of a stub (7kb) at this point, but going forward there's a lot of material that could be adapted from the German article (30kb). Be sure and add a standard attribution statement to the edit summary, when translating, copying, or paraphrasing from the German article; see WP:TFOLWP.
