"she" in userdel?

I was going the userdel man page and found this...

Funny? Deliberate? Mistake?
Have you come across something like this?

I found it funny! The author should have some grudge towards the female being.

Hi,

the english language has no gender neutral pronoun for people - 'it' is only applicable to things, not to persons. So you have the choice between him and her instead - or something totally weird like plural as in 'them'.

For us non-native speakers that seems funny but for native speakers it seems quite normal :slight_smile:

This explains it a bit

OMG this is so funny! It's reading she/her on my RHEL 5.7 hahahaha
