Skin, the (feminine). In English, it is easy: "The" skin. But in German it is quite complicated. Sometimes I read "der Skin wird nicht geladen", "das Skin hat zu wenige Namenstasten".
Argh!
As the inventor, I now declare: SwyxIt! skins are feminine. So please call it "die Skin".
Example: "Die Skin von dem Herbert seine Sekretärin ihr SwyxIt!".
The only allowed exception for certain regions: "Dat Skin"
