To svtmike;
I'm talking about classical English, not the comtemporary PC kind. As when I was educated. Yes, I am aware that changes take place. But I also know that gender is a word which has been required to take on clarification of human sexuality due to certain political pressures.. kind of like the word gay when used to describe homosexual men AND women.
Perfectly good words asked to go the route of PC. Interesting, eh?

Mine is an "it". Not like a boat which is always referred to using the feminine gender, "she".
I've never named a car, so my ideas and opinions on this post don't really count for much.
