How Good is Your English? / Re: Layman – English editing.

You could consider doing this, but why would you? Unlike demonstratively stating "his" in a gender un-neutral tense, layman is a commonly-accepted colloquialism and changing it to layperson is not really necessary when it comes to writing. For someone to become offended by the usage of this term is almost a non-issue in my opinion.
