| Feb 21, 2020 at 19:56 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | Does this answer your question? Do you pluralize the singular possessions of individual members of a plural group? 'Dorgeloh and Wanner, in Syntactic Variation and Genre, state that In [a] common strategy, speakers may use singular constructions [to simulate a 1-to-1 situation] despite a manifestly plural audience. Well-known instances of this are address forms such as Dear Reader in novels, editorials and so on.' / ... 'Hold your compasses in one hand.' | |
