What language barrier?

So, female talk and male talk are equally different. They are like
identical twins: one is more identical than the other, without us knowing
which one is one and which other is the other one. Men and women are like
an only twin. In fact, male talk and female talk differ only in one
syllable, which females have but women don't.
We men speak just like women. And women like men, they do, just like men
like women. Also, many males prefer mail, and many females prefer femail.
And only lonely emales prefer a single email.
Sometimes, males and females are difficult to read. Women follow discourse,
and men follow dat course: they converse the converse converse, each
subject subject to a subject.
In short: A woman's talk is like a man's TOC. Or vice versa, asrev eciv rO.
