For example, I find that some people say, "I don't understand the alum terminology issue..I find it so confusing"'...sorry, that's just lazy. How hard is it to remember the women usages always have an "a" at the ending or at least NEAR the ending? alumna and alumnae

I don't think its necessarily laziness...but rather ignorance.
For anyone who's taken a foreign language like Spanish or Italian & i'm assuming French too, all the adjectives for feminine nouns usually end with an
a too... ie un
a chica buen
a is 'a good girl' and un chico buen
o is 'a good boy'
Its a language rule in many of the romance languages. Isn't that right? corect me if i'm wrong
