*inclusion*
Vim is for everybody, no matter race, gender or anything. Some people make a
big deal about using "he" or "his" when referring to the user, thinking it
means we assume the user is male. That is not the case, it's just a habit of
writing help text, which quite often is many years old. Also, a lot of the
text is written by contributors for whom English is not their first language.
We do not make any assumptions about the gender of the user, no matter how the
text is phrased. Some people have suggested using "they", but that is not
regular English. We do not want to spend much time on this discussion. The
goal is that the reader understands how Vim works, the exact wording is
secondary.
