Writing style
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
When using pronouns in reference to a hypothetical person, such as "a user with
|
||||
a session cookie", gender neutral pronouns (they/their/them) should be used.
|
||||
Instead of:
|
||||
|
||||
* he or she... use they.
|
||||
* him or her... use them.
|
||||
* his or her... use their.
|
||||
* his or hers... use theirs.
|
||||
* himself or herself... use themselves.
