Super nit pick:

Is it just me or is it a bit disheartening that they have defined this using the term `thru` which google defines as `informal spelling of through`?

Isn't a legal document about as formal as one can get? I'm just worried it opens opportunity for confusion from the ambiguousness of language.

Slippery slope: Next thing we'll see is a law defining how much of a deduction you get with the money with wings emoji.



Maybe it was to reduce ambiguity? Often legal documents define terms up front ("the participant" refers to John Doe). If they choose a common work like "is" or "through" it can become a rubik's cube trying to correctly discuss it.
