 Don’t make a joke
out of gender- neutral language. The fool who suggested “horshit” as
a compound of “he”, “she” and/or “it” has been
chastised by Miss Spelt.
Warning: Don’t refer to women as “tricks”. If anyone should be called “tricks” it’s the men who use sexist language to take advantage of women. So all of you will drafters (as distinct from draftsmen) please avoid the – trix in “testatrix” and “executrix” and use “testator” and “executor” instead.
