This document uses the gender-neutral third-person pronouns “person”, “per”, “pers” and “perself” which were promoted, and perhaps invented, by Marge Piercy in Woman on the Edge of Time. They are used just like “she”, “her”, “hers” and “herself”, except that they apply equally to males and females. For example, “Person placed per new program under the GNU GPL, to let the public benefit from per work, and to enable per to feel person has done the right thing.”

Another problem is that the word ``woman'' actually contains ``man'' as if ``wo'' were a special modifier. This is unacceptably sexist so I decided from now on that I will substitute ``wan'' to the old sexist word ``woman'' and ``mowan'' to the old sexist word ``man''.
