A PR https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/9408 solved an ambiguous problem about coroutine. Which led me to https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#awaitables

> Note that in this documentation the term “coroutine” can be used for two closely related concepts:

> a coroutine function: an async def function;
> a coroutine object: object returned by calling a coroutine function.

This will let people confused. IMO we should use `coroutine object` or `coroutine function` instead of coroutine when it means an object. For instance, L22 in https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/471503954a91d86cf04228c38134108c67a263b0/Doc/library/asyncio-api-index.rst

> Create event loop, run a coroutine, close the loop.
should be
> Create event loop, run a coroutine object, close the loop.

I'm not sure that it's a good idea to apply this change everywhere, but I think in general this is a good idea.  Do you want to submit a PR?

Sure, I found around 7 places may need to change, I can fix some of them right, and I will put the rest links which I'm not sure in the PR comment.
