    I don't think you mean 'genitive case'. I expect that you mean gender, which is nothing to do with case. 'It' is an acceptable way of describing a single human of unknown gender. I prefer 'they', but accept that it is a bit modern and illogical (being a plural) for everyone's taste.

    There shallow Draughts intoxicate the Brain,
    And drinking largely sobers us again.

      What has 'ginger' got to do with it?

      I see casual discrimination is still socialy acceptable as long as its not racist or sexist.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Gingers don't have souls. Well known fact that.

        You know what they say about assumptions!

          I think MP meant that the size of the baby was so great as to make it unlovable, despite its gorgeous copper locks.

                I don't mind a bit of racial horseplay actually.

                The ginger element just added to the general unpleasant angry look of this baby.

                I trot out the ginger jokes with the best of them, but I will admit I find a lot of gingers sexy for some reason.
                Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
