One important thing not mentioned. English has no genders except in extremely rare cases. Other Indo-European languages are full of genders, like female tables, male autos, etc. Trying to learn Spanish in high school, it was genders that confused me the most. Safe to say I just remember some words at this point. | ||||||||

English only has sex, not gender. He, She, It. The commonly cited example of referring to ships as 'she' is simply an affectation, grammatically a ship is an it. Or can you provide another example I may have overlooked? | ||||||||
