    Oh 1 more thing I forgot to mention earlier - subject line should read "Why is Seoul feminine?" As you're asking a question, the word order changes (you've successfully done this with the second part of your question - "Is 'ship' always feminine?" is correct).

    thanks for this correction.

    I also wanted to apologize for that reference to Chicago Manual of Style (it appeared because i copied the full sentence as it appears in Wikipedia), which is a guide for American English writers and journalists (of course, i am fully aware of the difference between American and British English).
