It's pretty clear that Rock has some sort of affinity to spren, in that he can see them when others can't. He hasn't said why, but it was hinted that there is an explainiation that he'll get around to at some point.
That being established, in chapter 87, when Kaladin meets Teft, Rock, and co. on top of the plateau, Rock looks at the honorblade that Kaladin has retrieved from Szeth, and this conversation happens.
"Another one?" Rock asked, eyeing Kaladin's Shardblade. "Or is he yours?"
"No," Kaladin said. "I took it from the assassin."
I was just curious as to why Rock would refer to the blade as a "He" when everyone else calls the blade an "it."
Syl pretty clearly stated that the blade has nothing to do with any Spren on the page before, but Rocks wording in the entire exchange struck me as a little weird. Maybe it's just supposed to be a cultural thing? Everyone else refers to their stuff as a She and horneaters call their stuff He?
Just wondering what everyone thought, since most of you are clearly more well versed in this than I am.
