Updating language on About page

Post by dannysallis »

Currently, the "About" page on Project Euler says "he/she" a few times. Would it be possible to update the language to "they" to make it more inclusive of people with other pronouns (and a little easier to read too)?

Thank you for drawing that to my attention. We have strived in recent years to utilise inclusive and natural language. In particular, avoiding the clumsy and less inclusive "he/she". A year or so ago, a team of editors were involved in the massive task of reviewing every problem statement and rewording any of them where necessary. The About page was an oversight and has now been changed. I did a quick search and found the same issue on the information page for Friends. That has also been edited.
