For my sins I have to read a great number of government documents.
You may find this perverse but I find that in their requirement to be
spartan and precise these documents occasionally obtain an almost
poetic quality.
Adrian and Katie might enjoy this rearrangement of the preface to a
recent paper:
In this document,
the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter
and the singular the plural
and vice versa,
as the context
shall admit or require.
