Line 7:
== Ships are gender neutral ==
In modern English, ships are grammatically gender-neutral ("it"). They are traditionally referred to with the feminine pronouns "she" or "her" as a longstanding cultural and maritime custom. However, modern style guides and formal writing strongly recommend using the gender-neutral pronoun "it".
== Official names and quotations ==
Preserve the spelling of official ship, system, faction and equipment names, as well as direct quotations and source titles. Prefer consistent British English in surrounding prose. American English remains permissible under the local policy; do not revert a useful edit merely because it uses a different English variant. See [[Project:Manual of Style]].
