ask mackenzie





I did not write the book of love,
and I do not claim to be full of wisdom.

I sure do make mistakes,
but I live and learn!

I try to let no one come to me,
without leaving happier. [:



"Exert your talents,
and distinguish yourself.
Don't even think about
retiring from the World,
until the World will be
sorry that you retire!"

♥[?]♥ is it wrong to refer to an animal as "it" when you dont know its gender?
I wouldn't call it "wrong", at all. Afterall, what do people expect you to do? I understand where you're coming from on this, though. I don't feel it to be "wrong", but I try to avoid the whole scenario by saying something along the lines of, "Awww, look at 'em!". Followed by a question of their gender. "'Em" just sounds better than "it", in my opinion. :) But I don't see how anyone could possibly fault you by saying "It".
