  • Specify that personal pronouns are OK in colloquial documentation
    rather than just pronouns. Pronouns are OK in all documentation. (For
    example, "it" is a pronoun and is acceptable in all types of
    documentation.) Specify "personal pronouns" for clarity.
  • more colloquial -> colloquial
  • like -> such as
  • Remove "mass nouns" as no mass nouns are given as examples. Plural
    nouns seems to be what was meant, so use that instead.
  • Repeat "gender-neutral" to make it clear that it refers to both terms
    and not merely the first term it appears before.
  • Remove "non-comprehensive examples". Examples are, by definition,
    non-comprehensive. No need to announce that the examples are examples.
    It is obvious.
