After reviewing the guidelines, I have learned that correct grammar and punctuation are important criteria for all content. My observation and question regards the use of the word "them" when referring to one person. Historically, writers used the generic term "he" to include all individuals however as political correctness and inclusiveness has increased that norm is no longer effective. However this raises another problem the incorrect use of the word "them"  thus using a plural pronoun to address a single person. Thus the correct phrase when speking of one person is "he or she" not them. What are your thoughts?
