"Layman's terms" or "Laymen's terms" Anyone know which is the correct spelling of the above? I'm currently doing up a resume, call it paranoia but I don't want to seem like an illiterate fuck (more than I already am). Google wasn't much help. Thanks.
layman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layman edit: looks like it depends on the context, although I've always assumed it's the singular form...i.e. any layman could understand it.
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=layman http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=laymen Both are acceptable.
Thanks. Spellchecker has both listed as correct
yeah, layman is singular, laymen is plural. sheesh.
