Читать книгу Kingdoms Of Experience - Andrew Greig - Страница 4

Author’s note: passages accredited to members of the Expedition are taken from their personal diaries or occasionally from transcribed conversation, as are thoughts and feelings ascribed to them.

In this book, as in Summit Fever, I have followed the option of using the plural ‘their’ after a singular, impersonal subject e.g. ‘each’, ‘anyone’, ‘everyone’. To write ‘each of us has his own opinion’ would be both sexist and inaccurate, given the composition of the Expedition, while writing ‘his or her’ on every such occasion is laboured.
