Small PR fixing a typo in the Receptionist task, and removing reference to age and gender (as has been done in GPSR, see #841).

Oops, I meant #841. I'll update.

I don't really agree that #841 shows the removal of any age/gender reference.

I also think it is too big of a change to eliminate the robot making any age/gender statements, while the rulebook is already released.

(P.S. in my opinion it is fine for the robot to estimate age/gender of a person. Even for next year)

Have to agree with @jws-1: From #841 "Also includes some changes based on feedback from previous years mainly removing unclear commands, and removing mentions of gender."

Furthermore, no GPSR commands include any reference of age or gender, in difference from previous years.

I also feel like, in my opinion, misgendering/ageing someone is at best mildly awkward, and at worst, it is offensive.

Ok, I missed that one in #841 . Thanks for highlighting it.

My other argument is still there. I think this is too big of chance after the rulebook has been released.

I also think this is too big of chance after the rulebook has been released, if this means the robot is not allowed to state gender or age of the person as teams may have already implemented such behavior.

I also don't see any characteristics that could not be considered offensive, what if the person got coerced into wearing the specific outfit, the person could be balding and height could be offensive too for a little person etc.

Feel free to reopen the typo fix.
