while the article is factually incorrect when claiming that Spanish has no neutral gender at all.
It's also true that "lo" is seldom used in Spanish and there are almost no neutral nouns (like in german).

> The issue is that these nouns do not behave like a fully-fledged gender. Importantly, there are no dedicated neuter endings for adjectives; instead, when a Romanian ‘neuter’ noun combines with an adjective, that adjective will be either masculine or feminine.
That is, “lo” is a remnant of the neuter but because it is accompanied by a masculine adjective (there is no such thing as a neuter adjective), it does not constitute a true gender.
