Please refrain from referring to zsh as "she". The shell is neither a woman nor a ship.

That is a ridiculous request. We use gendered pronouns for inanimate objects all the time in English; it's purely a stylistic flourish, by no means limited to ships. Please refrain from telling others how to express themselves.

In my case I refer to the shell in the feminine because she captivates me but I don't understand her, and often I don't know what she wants nor how to keep her happy. However this is the most rancor-free forum I've ever been on so whatever keeps the peace. Besides, Lawrence has helped me a hundred times so I 'owe him'.
