Talk:Concorde

This is a complicated word- in England it's used differently from North America. In North America, it's referred to as 'The Concorde', but in the UK it's usually just 'Concorde'. Also a fleet of Concorde doesn't take the plural, whereas it probably would in NA. This is the usage by the BBC (although the BBC have shutdown their English department so they're not as consistent as they have previously been, and you can find different usages.)

The pilots and British Airways usually refer to Concorde as her or she (but not absolutely always)- this is unusual for aircraft I believe.

A lot of the usage is described in the wikipedia article and on the associated talk page.Wolfkeeper 02:05, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
