Excerpted from a subpoena issued by Packard Bell to Apple:

The past tense includes the present tense, and the present
tense includes the past tense ....

The term 'person' means natural persons ....

The singular form of a noun or pronoun shall be considered
to include within its meaning the plural form of the noun
or pronoun and vice versa ....

The term 'and' includes 'or', and 'or' includes 'and'.
