    I will never stop being irritated that people continue to refer to boats, ships and cars as “she” and “her”. They’re not female, they’re inanimate objects. It just sounds dumb.https://twitter.com/alibunkallsky/status/938685342634463232 …

    Big day for @HMSQnlz and her crew - she will be formally commissioned into the @RoyalNavy. The Queen will be onboard for the ceremony.

        Wow..really, you get heated over this? Personally I found my kites (ask @JohnNicholRAF) given the female gender/moniker gave strength, reliability and a bond to all associated with them, especially when completing a successful SAR operation.

        That's because Julia (who I rather like) has never had the pleasure of taking one of these machines to war. That's why we personalise them.

        Then why not call him "him"? Same difference.

        No, I'm not! If it's about personalising inanimate objects, why wouldn't at least some of them be masculine? Why are they all feminine?

        Because of the affection that men have for women. In wartime it’s a vital emotional anchoring expression.

        Nobody said they were inanimate. It’s an emotional projection to call an aircraft or ship “She” My wife pictured some years ago.pic.twitter.com/f4o6z7qRxF

        A ship is mother. Home. All goodly chattels and earthly belongings of the seafarer remain in her. Warmth, comfort well being and safety. She's a she.

        Have you raised this issue with the French who assign male or female gender to all their nouns?
