>excuse me, docuPERSONtation?

I'm sorry, but we here at the Linguistic Prohibition Of Literal Inscriptions
Causing Exclusion (AKA the Linguistic POLICE) must protest the gender-specific
term referenced above. It contains the word "SON" which improperly specifices
a male offspring. The correct term is "child." Therefore we insist this be
rewritten as: docuperchildtation.

Have fun,
