"Many of our employees hold a master's degree."  "Many of our employees hold master's degrees."  "Many of our employees hold masters' degrees."  Which of the above is the correct expression, assuming none of the employees have more than one master's degree? (You can either have 1 or none).  For me, I feel #1 sounds the most natural, but I'm not sure it is correct.  Thanks in advance!  Edit: This isn't a duplicate as the question isn't about whether or not you need an apostrophe at all (all three of my examples given have apostrophes in them)!

The question asks it all really. When referring to a master's degree, do you use an apostrophe or not? That is, is it "a master's" or "a masters"?

Kindly, what are your thoughts on the following sentences:        The maximum number of wordbooks (%d) have been saved.   The maximum number of wordbooks (%d) has been saved.      My opinion is that (1) is more appropriate as "save" relates to wordbooks (a plural noun) and "The ... number" is some kind of determiner.  The dissenting opinion is that "The number" is obviously singular, and the "wordbooks" are subsidiary.  I agree that (2) is grammatically correct but I maintain it implies merely a single number was saved, not the wordbooks themselves.

What is the correct way of saying this:        I have completed three years of a six years course.   I have completed three years of a six-years course?      And also, should it be 'six year' or 'six years' here?

Is the following grammatically correct? My friend says the second sentence is grammatically incorrect, but couldn't explain why.     I have always been fascinated by statistics. The different ways in   which you could look at data and infer knowledge from it.

The author used a comma in the following text; I would have used a colon. Any thoughts?     "She is one of only a few lawyers with the necessary skills to advise on such deals[:][,] a significant achievement for a mid-level attorney."

I'm thinking about making a headline. I know you would use a comma here:     Professor Bill Bick then told me, "There will be more jobs when the   economy recovers."   What about here?     Read Professor Bill Bick's article, "Why There Will be More Jobs When   the Economy Recovers."   Are commas used before article titles that are quoted?

I wonder which of the two is correct:        I have a red and a blue car.   I have a red and a blue cars.      or        Everyone has a left and a right arms.   Everyone has a left and a right arm.      My (non-native) inclination would be for option 1, as it sounds better.  On the other hand, in the following examples, the plural sounds better to me.    Everyone has left and right arms. I have old and new cars. (when I only have only one old car and one new car) The left and the right arms are...   But are they correct?

I'm trying to write a cover letter for a fairly prestigious job, and I'm aiming for (arguably too much) perfection in my cover letter. I don't want to be turned away only because the hiring people though I was too careless with my punctuation and capitalization.  My sentence goes as follows:     I hope to one day go on to complete a Masters degree in Computer Science with a focus in Applied Cryptography.   I've never been great with the technical rules of the English language, despite being a native speaker.

Example: A character owns a pair of Sophia Loren sunglasses. Before going out for the afternoon, "She drew on her Sophia Loren’s, flipped her long mane back, and tossed him a cheeky grin."  If I'm not mistaken, this is an example of a "proprietary eponym". Is the apostrophe correct here, or should it be "Sophia Lorens"—i.e. since the thing referred to is a plurale tantum, should the proprietary eponym also take the form of a plurale tantum?

Can someone please elucidate the difference between "many" and "many a"? In what context of usage should we add an extra "a" beside the word "many"?  For example:         Many times, I had seen that . . . .   Many a times, I had seen that . . . .      I do not know if the example is accurate enough to support my question, but I would like to know the difference between how they are used.

I would like to write "In "[article name]," [author] states such and such." However, in this particular instance, [article name] ends in a question mark. How should I punctuate this?   "In "Can Pigs Fly," Bacon states..." "In "Can Pigs Fly?" Bacon states..." "In "Can Pigs Fly?," Bacon states..."   Or something else?  Thank you!

I was reading this today:  We look forward to following your progress.  Am I correct in thinking that it is missing a be or that -ing should be removed?  So  We look forward to be following your progress.  or  We look forward to follow your progress.  Interestingly I get the same jarring feeling when reading the examples here

Tests are hard to solve for large number of users.   Checking the similar usage of such expression, I think there is something wrong with the sentence. What's the best and correct? a large number OR large numbers OR even something else!

As a result, I am able to be understanding and accommodating to the people that I work with, including clients, which I believe is an important asset for a professional to have.   I wanted to make sure it is absolutely known that I mean to acknowledge clients as a class of people I can work with. Is this the right way to include it with commas?
