Komma vor “und” bei Aufzählungen mit Mehrdeutigkeit Wohl wahr. Derartige Sätze hören sich ziemlich konstruiert an und würden wegen solcher „Holprigkeiten“ in der Praxis kaum verwendet werden. |

Warum ist das Theater sächlich? Tatsächlich gibt es durchaus zahlreiche einfache Regeln für das Geschlecht von Substantiven. Deine Beispiele sind urindogermanische Wörter, die notorisch schwierig zu handhaben sind, aber für große Klassen von Wörtern auf -er (Berufe, handelnde Personen, Lehnwörter...) lassen sich durchaus Regeln finden. |

Warum ist das Theater sächlich? I don't think that there is a general tendency towards neuter words in Greek and Latin. For example, the huge class of abstract nouns ending in -io (region, action, etc.) is feminine. |

Warum ist das Theater sächlich? The first rule is too generic: "Computer" is essentially a Latin–English loanword and doesn't fit into this rule. The rule generally applies to professions and when the noun is derived from a verb. The second rule also mixes up different etymologies: "Dauer" and "Trauer" are Germanic, but "Mauer" is a Latin loanword derived from "murus" (masculine!). And the third rules again confuses Germanic words and loanwords: "Theater" is neuter because the Greek "theatron" is neuter. Better think in etymologies than word classifications. |

Warum ist das Theater sächlich? "fenenstra" is feminine, unlike "Fenster". Greek and Latin loanwords have adapted the original gender only when introduced in the Middle Ages or later, but words like "Fenster", "Mauer" and "Keller" were already introduced in antiquity. |

“Geht's” becomes “gehts” As stated in the quote, this form is colloquial, so I think it's not appropriate for a (formal) book. |
