Coordinator is a single person. Thus "he". Right? |

Why was this closed? I have to agree with the usage of "they", or at least modify it so it's not specific to a male, unless for some odd reason the coordinator is a male only position. |

It's not about gender. It's about calling a single person "they". |

+1 to the PR. 'they' can be used to refer to a singular person. Also, we can have more than one editor. |

OK. Wasn't aware of this way of using English. Thanks! |
