On an web form, where a user can select one country or several, I want to use a label more concise than Country or Countries. Is Country(ies) correct?

Sentences constructed with a word written in the singular and parenthetically in the plural are straightforward when that word does not end in -y, e.g.:     List all applicable employee(s).   How does one handle words ending in -y? Is this correct:     I will attend the party(ies).

Currently, in the , when you want to select an option, you have to click either on the radio button, or on the top part of the description. This is because only the top part of the description is contained in a &lt;label&gt;.  This doesn’t match the behavior of the other older modals. I’d like the entire text to be clickable to select the corresponding radio button, instead of having to click on this rather thin strip.  This is a screenshot of the flag modal with the &lt;label&gt; being inspected. The bottom description should be part of the &lt;label&gt;, too, or perhaps in another &lt;label&gt; for the same radio button — whichever works best.    Other people requesting this feature   For older flag modals,  similar to this one has been proposed in 2014. Before I asked my question, this has been requested in this comment (which I overlooked at first):     [feature-request] Can you make the flag option's subtext clickable? (Like in all other flag dialogs) –    After my question, ’s  to the question  requested this feature.

Using ArcMap 10.0, I am working on a map that shows many villages. Each village has a name attribute that I want to use for a label, but in some areas there are so many villages that not all can be labeled. I am using the Maplex label engine and have not checked the "Never Remove (allow overlap)" box.  I am quite happy that not all village names are displayed as this would be way too much. And it is ok that Maplex chooses which labels to display, as I have no way to know which village is more important than another one. This also means that I can't base the labeling on a field such as population or something else, even though that would be less random.  However, I would also like the village points that are not labeled to similarly not be displayed. I think it unlikely that someone would want to see the point without knowing the name of the village. If all points are shown, it is also difficult to tell which point a name label goes with in crowded areas. So instead of choosing just labels not to be shown, I also want the computer to chose features not to be shown.  To give you a better idea on what I mean:    Is there a way to make these features/points not draw if their label is not shown?

When you have a form with fields and captions for these fields, should you do it like that:  Field1: [                       ] Field2: [                       ]   or like that:  Field1  [                       ] Field2  [                       ]   I saw both used in popular application. Microsoft generally uses colons (My computer properties -> Computer Name tab is one example). Opera browser doesn't use colons as separators on forms (example: Preferences form).  I personally don't have a strong opinion on which one is better. But I'm working on this "1000s of winforms" app where I suspect we have forms with and without colons so I would really like to set a standard and go one way or another on all forms because the inconsistency is far worse than any of the options.

I have seen people use both forms below. Which is correct? If both are, in which situation is each better used?  I am a software engineer based in New York. I am a software engineer based out of New York.

This seems subjective, and it is; a client of mine would like me to highlight the required fields on the web forms in their application with a red asterisk, and I'm looking for an alternative since red asterisks usually mean there's an error to me.  How do I let a user know which fields are required? (One per answer, please.)  UPDATE: This is to indicate which fields are required before validation/postback occurs.

I am having some issues trying to show multiple fields for a single label in QGIS. In QGIS2.6, attempting to display labels for a feature consisting of multiple fields results in an empty label if one of the fields is null. So for example, in the label expression dialog:  concat("Temp Site",'\n',"Notes",'\n',"Function")   will function normally unless one of the fields is null, then it results in no label being shown. Using the '||' operator instead in the expression dialog also results in the same behaviour:  "Temp Site" || '\n'  ||  "Notes" || '\n'  ||  "Function"   Is there a way to display the labels even if one of the fields is null?

I am using a Label Expression to label a parcel layer.  The expression is:  "&lt;FNT name=""Arial"" size=""12""&gt;" &amp; [Owners_Nam] &amp; "&lt;/FNT&gt;"   This works correctly for some labels, but any [Owners_Name] field that has an "&amp;" in it, such as between two owners names (Smith, John &amp; Sue), does not show up correctly.  The parcel is labeled as:  &lt;FNT name="Arial" size="12"&gt;Smith, John &amp; Sue&lt;/FNT&gt;   Is there any way to solve this without removing the "&amp;" from the [Owner Name] field?    I know how to replace the &amp; in Field Calculator; I would just like to preserve the original field text.  I've had this same problem in the past using the &lt;BOL&gt; tag too.

When there are several cottages each with several tariffs (depending on the season), should the plural be "cottage tariffs" or "cottages tariffs"?  For context, this is to be a section title on a website renting out the cottages.  An explanation of the grammatical rules would be helpful.

All my life, I have been confused with choosing plural or singular form to represent one-one correspondence notion.     Only those who qualify will be awarded a certificate.   or      Only those who qualify will be awarded certificates.   ?  Another example, let us consider the following:  "Each student gets one pencil". But it becomes ambiguous if I rewrite in plural form as "Students get pencils".  I hope someone can give me a general rule to overcome my confusion. :-)

Let's say I have an html form.  Each input/select/textarea will have a corresponding &lt;label&gt; with the for attribute set to the id of it's companion. In this case, I know that each input will only have a single label.  Given an input element in javascript &mdash; via an onkeyup event, for example &mdash; what's the best way to find it's associated label?

I'm trying to create a label on a map in QGIS.  I can open the setting where there are an X and Y button and a few other properties, like opacity and distance.  I'm pretty sure the problem is that I need to enter the proper X and Y coordinate here, but I don't know how to get to where it lets you enter the coordinates.

I work with a company whose name is frequently reduced to an initialism (acronym).  Let's say the name is &quot;Cool Computer Systems&quot; (CCS).  I am engaged in an ongoing, bloody battle with the marketing department, wherein they insist the following apostrophe use is correct:  Buy CCS' New Product.  Reading that line brings visions of crying 4th grade teachers and librarians to mind.  I am quite certain that it should be written:  Buy CCS's New Product.   UPDATE: The examples are in title case because the sentence is the subject line of an e-mail.  UPDATE: Their argument is that &quot;Systems&quot; is plural.  I say that plurality doesn't matter, because &quot;Systems&quot; is part of the name.  The name as a whole should be handled as a singular entity, because the company is, in fact, a single, legal entity.  Thus, the possessive form should be written:  The Emperor's clothes Cool Computer Systems's clothes CSS's clothes

Is this defined by the language? Is there a defined maximum? Is it different in different browsers?

I am trying to create a simple map of Mexico showing the state polygons and their label.  The state shapefile is from , and the specific file is the first one from the top (Áreas Geoestadísticas Estatales (7.43 Mb)).  I edited the attribute table to create a new column with shorter state names called NOM_SHORT.  To add labels I used the "ABC" dialog as below:     However not all states were labelled, including Oaxaca and San Luis Potosí, as shown below (painted in light grey).  Why?   Here is attribute table:

Some user interfaces feature titles such as:   My documents My photos My previous orders   While others opt for:   Your documents Your photos Your previous orders   Are their any guidelines addressing which is more suitable to pick in different situations? Is one more preferable than the other?
