Masculine/Feminine. Whenever the masculine is used in this Agreement, it shall be also considered as if the feminine has been used.
Masculine/Feminine the masculine gender as used herein shall also mean and include the feminine gender unless otherwise indicated in the context.
Masculine/Feminine. The use of the masculine gender in this Agreement shall be considered also to include the feminine.
Masculine/Feminine. All provisions in this Collective Agreement apply to all Employees. In this Collective Agreement, the masculine gender also represents the female gender.
Masculine/Feminine. Where the masculine pronoun is used in this Agreement, it shall be deemed to include the feminine and vice versa where the context so requires.

Determiner Adjective Determiner Adjective Singular Plural % () % () % () % () % () % () % () % () In order to test whether the proportion wrong answers depend on (combinations of) the three explanatory variables (Masculine vs Feminine; Determiner vs Adjective; Singular vs Plural) several binomial regression models were fitted to the data. The fit of these models can be compared using a likelihood-ratio test (as the difference in −2 log likelihood of nested models is chi-square distributed with difference in number of parameters as degrees of freedom). In Table 2 the fit of the tested models is presented. Table 2: Fit and comparison of different models to estimate the influence of singular/plural, feminine/masculine and determiner/adjective on errors of Dutch students.

If the distinction Singular-Plural (S) is added to the model, the model is a significant better description of the observed data than without this distinction (χ2(1) = 29.15; p < 0.001). For both the distinction Masculine-Feminine (M) and Determiner-Adjective (D), the fit of the model increases significantly if either effect is taken into account (see Table 2). In the remainder of the models (5–8) different interaction effects are sub- sequently added to the model. Comparison of the fit of the model shows that adding the interaction between S(ingular – Plural) and M(asculine – Feminine) does not improve the fit of the model over a model with only the three main effects (χ2(1) = 0.03; p = 0.834). The interaction effect between S(ingular – Plural) and D(eterminer – Adjective) also fails to reach significance as well (χ2(1) = 1.27; p = 0.260). However, the interaction between M(asculine – Feminine) and D(eterminer – Adjective) does explain differences in error rate in the writing of Dutch students (χ2(1) = 12.26; p < 0.001). Finally, the interaction between the three explanatory variables (S * M * D) did not reach significance (χ2(1) = 0.50; p = 0.481). Hence, the most sparse model which explains the (relative) error rate best contains nex...
