True, and a question of balance. A little bit of mutual
adjustment goes a long way.
I also try to cut down on the term "you" as a general term
since people might think I mean them personally.
That's what 'one' (rather than 'you') is for. But if one uses
the word 'one' in this context it comes off as archaic and
elitist. So be it.
"A bad programmer create bugs when it edits its files...".
And if people force you to write "it", it is quite reasonable
to wonder what else they strongly object to so you better just
stay silent. I really do try to cut down on the term "you"?
Quite!
