I mean in English, it is so easy to use neutral forms compared to German: E. g. "the player" includes "der Spieler" and "die Spielerin". Or "they" instead of "he/she". Why is it accepted to capitalize the first letter of a sentence, or to capitalize the names of months? That's what they decided to do. And creating false plurals is wrong, and the other example you listed - player - is a gender-neutral word, with no equivalent for gender-based.
