Plural pronouns for singular annoys me.

I really believe in gender fairness and fluidness in prounouning, and I
get why "they" is always better to use, and that the "one's request"
construction is too tortured. So, I tend to just write everything in
plurals if possible which keeps 'they' but makes the number
grammatically agree.

Yes, I know that the ADT made "they/them used as singular" as 2015 word
of the year. (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_of_the_year#American_Dialect_Society

so maybe some nun slapped the table too hard with her ruler when made
some plural/singular mistake with a pronoun when I was in grade school,
but I have a compulsive need to change everything to plural when I see
"they" and am editing a document. ;)

Feel free to add your own usecase to this list.

Resources on writing good use cases:

- <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Use_case#Templates>
- <http://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/blog/advantages-of-the-as-a-user-i-want-user-story-template>

A simple form of a use case is

> “As a \<type of user>, I want \<some goal> so that \<some reason>.”

You should add your use case as a subpage of the [[UseCases]] page, to create a new page, simply enter the name of the subpage in the address bar after `/UseCases/`.

## Use cases

If you add or edit UseCases here, please also keep the
[[evaluation template|ExistingProjects/EvaluationTemplate]] in sync with the
use cases.  In other words, if you add a UseCase important enough to be a
criteria in evaluating ExistingProjects, then please make sure to update the
[[evaluation template|ExistingProjects/EvaluationTemplate]].
