It's grammatically correct to say "he or she". Since you are only referring to one person, "they" is incorrect.
A lot of people use "they" because it's less speaking/writing.
Thanks Tom, that clears it up.
I have seen "he or she" or even "s/he" or something like that in writing, but heard "they" many times in spoken English. Actually, I never quite understood before why they always switch from "he" to "they" in the middle of a sentence.
But if I correctly recall my university years, the official Oxford British English we were taught was always "he or she".
Thanks again guys for the English lesson, I am always eager to learn.
