3.5. Gender References

Do not use gender-specific pronouns in documentation. It is far less awkward to read a sentence that uses "they" and "their" rather than "he/she" and "his/hers." It is fine to use "you" when giving instructions and "the user," "new users," etc. in more general explanations. Never use "one" in place of "you" when writing technical documentation. Using "one" is far too formal.
