I have a question that has been bothering me, the question is what 's the difference between "this kind of ..." and " this type of ..." ?
for example:
1. "what kind of job do you do?" and,
"what type of job do you do?
2. " what kind of car do you have?"
" what type of car do you have?"
in advance, thank you for your time and attention.
There is no difference, because in most cases the "What kind of/type of" constraction supposes the following noun be without any article and it is should be in the singular form:
kind & type 
Re: kind & type
