Barnaby Bienkowski (ID: 000000ea85ce2e42) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/24/2022 It's pretty good though I wish I could add even more. I'd like to replace "male" and "female" with human. I'd like to replace "mansplaining" with patronizing. Etc. etc.

Silver P. (ID: 000000b3de4204b4) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/26/2020 This is great, I just have one suggestion: my textbook uses "he or she" and the plugin changes it to "they or they".
