The key word is ‘specifically.’
- djoldman 5y agoI think this makes sense if specifically meant "only" but it doesn't. It means "exact": Specifically: in a way that is exact and clear; precisely. The story can specifically refer to multiple people. There is no definite error here as I see it.
- dane-pgp 5y agoThe word "specifically" can also be used as an antonym of "generally", meaning "by most people, or to most people".[0] If a story applies to most people, but someone reading the story doesn't consider that possibility, then they have made a small error.
