I stopped trusting the English language

when my teacher said "Give her her pen" was correct yet "Give him him pen" was incorrect

English can be weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.

"Kembalikan pulpennya" makes more sense. Let's make Bahasa Indonesia as international language

English has rules that are easy to master, and exceptions in an infinite variety.
Blame the Anglo saxons. They all got together, had a party and then created English.

@LvChris maybe but I'm pretty sure we got it here because King Henry VIII was a slut

Give him him pen sounds weird though
It is funny that the possessive of the pronoun “her” is also “her” while the possessive form of the pronoun “him” is “his”.
On the other hand, in English only people require gender pronouns whereas in other languages every item is “he” or “she”.
