Would you want the rows in your garden to be labelled with singulars or plurals?
Singular: there's only one kind of plant there
Plural: since there's more than one plant, the label should reflect that
Don't care: as long as I can read it, the details are unimportant

New Rule

« H E Knitting Process :: Random Thought Table :: email
posted Thursday, 8 May 2008

No one is permitted any longer to refer to their knitting projects with gendered pronouns.

Even if the hairs in the wool actually contained chromosomes (which I don't think they do), the wool is not a gendered organism.  The yarn is even less gendered if it's not wool.  And a sweater, even if the pattern is named "Annabelle" or "Mickey" or "Juliette" or "Steve", is not gendered either.  It's an inanimate object, it's not even a vehicle, it's it, not she or he.  Just deal with it.
