-This document uses the gender-neutral third-person pronouns ``person'',
-``per'', ``pers'' and ``perself'' which were promoted, and perhaps
-invented, by Marge Piercy in @cite{Woman on the Edge of Time}.  They are
-used just like ``she'', ``her'', ``hers'' and ``herself'', except that
-they apply equally to males and females.  For example, ``Person placed
-per new program under the GNU GPL, to let the public benefit from per
-work, and to enable per to feel person has done the right thing.''
+This document uses the gender-neutral third-person pronouns ``person''
