>This document uses the gender-neutral third-person pronouns “person” (which can be shortened to “perse”), “per”, “pers” and “perself.” These pronouns (aside from “perse”) were promoted, and perhaps invented, by Marge Piercy in Woman on the Edge of Time. They are used just like “she”, “her”, “hers” and “herself”, except that they apply regardless of gender. For example, “Person placed per new program under the GNU GPL, to maintain freedom for all users of per work, and this way perse knows perse has done the right thing.”
