furthermore it shows persons as corporations and non for man or [wo]man


The whole point of a corporation or Ltd company is that they are legally treated as a "person" - separate from the living individuals that own the Ltd Company. Such corporate persons can own property (e.g. shares in other companies etc.), and are subject to laws separately from the owners.

It is well established, and is not (generally) a means of hiding ownership or being devious in any way. It is just the way corporations work.

Why do the leg-work yourself when you can use this forum as a free consultancy service where other people do the work for you?

furthermore it shows persons as corporations and non for man or [wo]man

No different to VW Group that owns Audi, Porsche, Seat, Skoda, and even Bugatti. Or Toyota whom own Lexus.
VW also own Bentley of course wink.

Quite apart from the main discussion I'm still puzzled by what that was meant to say.

Also by the "[wo]man". A very strange construction. How is it pronounced?

Software programmer type construct for optional, essentially saying woman OR man. Some mathematics types would use "woman || man" for example.

Nope. I think you misread what the child posted.

I am familiar with the common || construction having spent my working life as a programmer and higher levels in the IT industry. But the quote I gave was "man or [wo]man". Your interpretation turns that into "man or man or woman" smile.

There is a remote possibiity the poster is fully woke so is catering for the possibility of a trans woman, (or the other way round?), but that begs the question of why not also a trans man. Maybe woman? 🤐
