Comment 11 for bug 47504

All documentation are written in the male form in Hebrew. This is both for historical reasons and for practical reasons (it's mostly shorter than the female or plural form). As the idea of equality between the sexes entered the consensus in the Western world, a demand for equality within the Hebrew language arose. Thus, being unable to effectively change the gender rules of the language, a notice stating that a guide was written for both sexes equally became standard.

Adding the notice to Ubuntu documents will make them more user friendly in two way:
A. It won't alienate women users
B. It will determine astandard form for translation (i.e. the male form), so awkward attempts to use the plural (and mostly non-gender specific) form will not be used.
