	The easiest way to help the word processor is that generic "man"
is mostly used as suffix, while "man" for hand is mostly used as prefix.
So the way to do is to add a blank to the end of all lines (easy with ed,
hard with vi) (in case, say, chairman appears at the end of the line) and
then change from "man " to "person ". Note that even when manufacture is
broken at the end of line, it still is "man-" and not "man ". As a final
touch, change all "woperson" back to "woman" (Why not back to "person" ?
Because if [like it or not] a manual says "woman", then it is addressed
only to women on staff and not to everybody.). Do the same thing for "men ",
and then we're off.
