Chairman
Hi,
"His comments come as an annual survey of chairman and non-executive directors, who sit on company boards, carried out by head-hunters Hanson Green and Directorbank found just 32% of chairman think the way top executives are paid is working." [From the BBC web site.]
Why is the word "chairman" instead of "chairmen" used in this context?
Thank you.
