Well, no: she [not it] would be my American American American Standard American partner.

Maybe "it" in FromageGB's post referred to the phrase "his American... partner", rather than to the person (the woman who actually was your partner)?

In that case the pronoun at the start of the sentence should definitely be "it" rather than "she". It1 would be correct in English English as well as American English and even American American English.

Got it2?
