Package: debian-handbook
Version: 6.0+20121031
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The Debian Administrator's Handbook uses male pronouns when referring to
subjects using the system.
The effects of exclusive language have been studied quantitatively in a range
of fields. One example picked largely at random:
http://gradworks.umi.com/33/52/3352854.html
I suggest using 'they' and 'theirs' instead of 'he' and 'his' where possible.
Some authors express concern that this is ambiguous as 'they' and 'theirs' are
often used as plural pronouns. In this case, a short explanation of the
inclusive language in the foreword can help.
If you're accepting patches, I'm happy to sort this out. It'd be largely a sed
script followed by spot-checking the diff.
