I've studied romance languages and I've always wondered... how jarring is it for a native speaker when grammatical gender is incorrect? In other words, how "wrong" does it sound when someone swaps the o/a on a word? Do you have to stop and think for a split second to make sense of what is being said, or does it still make sense without extra thought?
