 **Using Pronouns**
 Virtually any text can include substitutions, and the functions are named so that they should be fairly readable. For example, if you have pronouns set to feminine:
 
-    [they(\%#, 1)] [has(\%#)] [they(\%#)] / [them(\%#)] pronouns.
+    [they(%#, 1)] [has(%#)] [they(%#)] / [them(%#)] pronouns.
