/ Robert Uhl <ruhl@4dv.net> was heard to say: | In the first Story in Section 3.6, the plural 'they' is used to refer to | the singular 'owner.' While the neuter plural does date back quite a | ways (I understand that even Shakespeare used it a few times), it's | generally considered _very_ poor practise. Indeed. An attempt on the editor's part to avoid gender bias or clumsy constructions like "she or he". Anyway, I've fixed it by repeating "the owner". :-) | Otherwise, a great document | which should be required reading for anyone who touches an information | system. Thanks. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | You look wise. Pray correct that http://nwalsh.com/ | error.--Charles LambReceived on Friday, 3 September 2004 16:03:08 GMT
