Il futuro dell' "homework".
Google robot translates:  My robot ate my homework.
It. Il mio robot ha mangiato i miei compiti.
Sp. Mi robot comió mi tarea.
Rom. Robotul meu mi-a mâncat temele.
G. Mein Roboter hat meine Hausaufgaben gegessen.
Lat. Mea robot comedit me Duis congue. (D'oh!)
Ru. Мой робот съел мою домашнюю работу.
Zul. I-robot yami yayidla umsebenzi wesikole. (Gotta love the Zulu
<I-robot>.)

Masculine still predominates, as far as robots are concerned, in the
Eurozone.
