Strange that You talk to Hexagon - "she". We in Poland rather consider him as a man. In Germany, sometimes called "Hexe" that means witch - then says she Smile

DaveD

Yes, in England we most often call machines SHE, I do not know how this began but often hear classic machines called as OLD GIRL. It's interesting how languages have different styles of expression Smile

Heksio

No, no ... in the subject line of motorcycles in Polish affairs are different than the hexagon. Here motorcyclists guys, they talk about machines "She". And the biker ladies say "He".

In my case Heksio is from name of a cartoon character from my childhood dog, whose name was Reksio. He was a good and useful pet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxgeL2OOAQI and that Hexagon is a little archaic fits in perfectly with this character. And of course there is a large convergence phonetically Smile
