What is pt? I am really bad at these country initials... for those of you out
there who haven't taken Spanish/French, many other languages don't really have
an 'it' in their language. In Spanish, a calculator is 'la calculadora', and
almost anything that ends with an a is feminine. A Spanish speaker who learned
to speak English quickly might forget about 'it', and call a calculator 'she'.
I don't know what nmasj's native language is, but this is most likely what
happened. :)

Good luck with your English, nmasj!
