RE: The Actifit Series: New Website features & other updates (Episode 12)

in #utopian-io5 years ago

This is another thorough and comprehensive overview from you, well illustrated with screenshots.

There are some issues with style and grammar, but one I want to focus on in particular:

Now, Actifit has implemented it in such a way that each person's user rank is shown in his activity report card post just beside his or her name.

Specifically, I want to talk about the choice to use "his," followed by "his or her." "His" is obviously wrong, and I would like to think it is an incidental result of editing. However, "his or her," is also not ideal. The singular "they" is your friend, here. It eliminates any need to gender the user, and is both more inclusive and more accurate.

Thank you a lot @didic. I have truly missed responding to your comments on my posts. Work has not allowed me (I don't blog Steemit on my phone, just my laptop alone).

Yeah, that was an error on my part as regards the use of "his" in the first instance.

However, I usually feel that since users of the Actifit project are both males and females, his or her would be best to use.

Thank you for this. I guess the right sentence should read;

Now, Actifit has implemented it in such a way that everyone's user rank is shown in their activity report card post just beside their names".

Correct?

Hahahahha this is a hilarious comment! What school did you go to hahahaha :)

Nothing personal of course, just found it ironic whilst searching posts to upvote :P

Thank you for your review, @didic! Keep up the good work!
