[Bug 584605] [NEW] On page 8, Canonical is referred to as 'they' when the proper pronoun is 'it'

 

Public bug reported:

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 [...]".
