The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/tutorial-createdb.html
Description:
1.3 Creating a Database
"Possibly, your site administrator has already created a database for your
use. He should have told you what the name of your database is."
should be
"Possibly, your site administrator has already created a database for your
use. They should have told you what the name of your database is."
I imagine this mistake occurs elsewhere in the docs. It would be great to
see it fixed across the board.

Sure. This has been discussed before, I believe. Feel free to submit a
patch.

Actually, this has already been patched; see
http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/741ccd5015f82e31f80cdc5d2ae81263ea92d794
The problem is that you're reading an ancient version of the docs.
A more recent version of the page does not have that problem:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/tutorial-createdb.html

We should fix the number agreement problem with the replacement. Make site
administrator plural.
