Re: What type of ship?
We could just say "their", which would solve the problem just fine, you know.

Re: What type of ship?
But if I use all ther personal pronouns and "their", I can't be accused of lumping people/beings together with no regards to what they'll claim are disticnt differences. I'm covering all my bases.

Re: What type of ship?
Actually, it would be correct to say "To each his own." Or "To each hir own." Or whatever one singular pronoun you choose. Grammar favors brevity, and if someone is going to get all bent about the omission of one or another pronoun, then they are just looking ofr an excuse to get mad and don't really understand the language. "Their" would be incorrect, because it's a plural referring to a singular subject ("each.")

I'm sure thats what you'd like to give him...
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
