If we're talking about RPC as an organisation, sure "its" is they way to go.
And a good day to BadGuy, knowing him, it'll be quite a blast indeed.

No, no, the good ship Pirate-Community is definitely a voluptuous damsel.

I was referring to the fact that Pirate-Community is feminine in French.

I dislike when languages are constructed like that. Why on earth is needed for nouns to have gender?

That's why I prefer English. English just has this awsome 'the', unlike in German you got 'Der/Die/Das/Dem/Dessen/blablabla..."
Btw. my Bro had birthday today.

Yes! Happy Birthday to em's kin! How old is he now?
I like the gendered pronouns in Dutch. Even though they don't make any sense whatsoever, it adds a certain poetic value to some phrases.

Happy Birthday to Omar's brother

@Shroob
I guess you can say that since it is your native language. You are probably right about adding poetic value.
However, try looking from other's perspective and you will probably understand why some dislike it.
Expecially the ones who are not French/German/Dutch

Even though I'm Dutch I still don't know how to use them properly OLOLO
Seriously though, nobody cares whether you use 'haar' or 'zijn' for certain nouns except your Dutch teachers at school.

I guess that on some languages, noun "company" must be female gender since multiple times, people in YouTube comments addressed companies such as Activision as "she" which I found very odd at first
Re: Birthdays and ages

In Dutch, that's undefined. Activision isn't necessarily a word with either gender, so it's referred to with the genderless pronoun, which is the same as the masculin pronoun 'zijn' (so it would appear to be masculin, but in reality it is not).
See now how Dutch pronouns begin to make no sense?

I doubt the native Irish speakers in this country (not many) care that much about the overworked grammar rules either (we, like French, have no neutral gender

).
And Happy Birthday to Omar's brother!
