* 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.
