John,
So far, not bad. However, I do have a problem with something:
"Do not get tied in knots with his/her or s/he. These pronouns do not
exist. Stay neutral." -

A few years ago in English class (yes...this is in the high schools, so
remember its quite sterile!) my teacher told us that we should use he
over she. This is because gramatically, the he encompasses both males
and females, while she is specific to females.
Comments?
