/ 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
