Status in Ubuntu Manual: Fix Released

Bug description:
Version: 788
Chapter and page number: Prologue, p. 8 (p. 10 of the PDF)
Type: grammar

In the note in the margin about Canonical, it is referred to as a company, which is in the singular form. In the next sentence, it is referred to using the pronoun 'they', which is incorrect because that pronoun refers to objects/entities in the plural. The sentence should read, "It has employees based around the world [...]".
