I know it's not a gender mistake, but a mistake in the case is generally more meaningful than a mistake in the gender. A mistake in gender is even less important. I agree one should try. I certainly try. I can often look at a word I've never seen before and "somehow" know the gender, but it is ridiculous to just ignore someone who makes mistakes. And it makes no difference what the nature of the mistake is, grammatical gender isn't special, it's not acceptable in English to treat someone like shit because they used the wrong conjugated form of "to be", it shouldn't be acceptable to treat someone like shit for using the wrong gender in German.
English doesn't have gender or anything but a vestige of a case system, but it's still just as complex a language as German. Your comment that you wrote right there is simply incorrect English at worst and unidiomatic at best, and you made a number of grammatical mistakes, but I wouldn't think to ignore you for it, because that would be completely ludicrous. In fact I'm only even mentioning it because of the conversation topic at hand. And if you're making so many mistakes whilst writing English then I'm certain you're making loads whilst speaking it. Still wouldn't ignore you or discount what you're saying because of it. In fact I wouldn't care at all because I understand that learning a language is not easy.
