In English speaking countries does the sun still have a gender or has he been neutered by political correctness?
The ony use of gender I can find quickly is this quote from Cotter:
"The R.A. of the sun is 00 hr 00 min 00 sec when he is at the First Point of Airies at the time of the spring equinox."
Which raises another issue - the Spring equinox will be in three months time in September but I suspect that that is not what Cotter meant!
