    In this case though, the fix isn’t any better, it should be ‘it’ not ‘they’ in context. ‘he’ is used in some languages in place of ‘it’.

    It’s fine to want the change, ‘he’ is used even in those languages to define masculinity, but ‘they’ isn’t the right replacement. I suspect RaigZ used a bot or other automated tool to do this and hasn’t actually read the documentation they’re asking to change.

      Note that the anon user is able to become root without password by default, as a development convenience.
      (-) To prevent this, remove anon from the wheel group and he will no longer be able to run /bin/su.

      “It” does seem like the way to go here, as it is referring to a built-in “anon” user account (best as I can tell).
