Message definition (Gender neutral language in Swedish)

The adjective conjugation for things in the singular definite form has historically had two versions in Swedish, the a-form (Feminine: den glada flickan. Neuter: det glada barnet) and the e-form (Masculine: den glade pojken). The e-form is not frequently used today, but it is still worth mentioning that the a-form is the standard in modern Swedish as the masculine and feminine grammatical genders are no longer separated, and by using only the a-form, the language becomes more gender-neutral and consistent.
