In Response To: Inclusive Language (mamabear)

As to this rule in particular, I only had to change "his" to "the" for gender neutrality.

No invented words and no word salad. I like fewer words, thus the suggested change "must" instead of "is required to". Never use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice.
