[Mesorah] How widespread is ignorance of Hebrew?

[Ira L. Jacobson]

At 16:30 14-04-19  +0000, Mandel, Seth stated the following:

>WADR, I am not aware of any case where the Hebrew word Shabbos is

In the 18 of Shaharit, Mussaf and probably Minha on Shabbat, the word 
Shabbat is masculine.  In Ma`ariv it is feminine.

Like ru'ah and derekh, for example.

One could smile and refer to these words as transgender.

Could you explain why Shabbat with  a bet qemutza could be semihut?
