I have many friends and I list them by their location. Is location correct?
We say the statistics is broken down by race and gender, we don't say by races and genders. Nails are placed in trays according to their size. Why do we use location, size, race and gender in singular form?
Thanks a lot. |

The usage implies plural. |
