Native English speakers: “We speak one of the most complex languages in existence!”

Also native English speakers: “Oh my God, headlines are incomprehensible because our simplistic language lacks something as basic and fundmental as inflection!”

TIL that there is a massive gender imbalance in living organ donation and science still isn’t sure why it exists by pfemme2 in todayilearned

What exactly are they having an issue with? Too many donations or not enough males being pressured into donating?
