"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 (more than I already am). :rolleyes:
Google wasn't much help.
Thanks. |

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. |
