Personal pronouns

Last Updated : Oct 12, 2022 |

Do not use he or she. In sentences where the antecedent of the pronoun is evident and not given to misinterpretations, you can use a pronoun, such as they or it, so that you do not have to repeat the noun. For example:

  • Verify the information on the screen. If it (the information) is correct, type y.

  • Copy all new xml files to your computer and rename them (the files) by removing the appended OSGi string.

  • Public lists can be used by other mailbox users when they (the users) forward a message.

Frequently, the paragraph that introduces a product or solution in the book repeats the name of the product multiple times to avoid the use of pronouns.
