Hello, I often used this page to find valuable information, but this is my first question here.
Please let me know whether there is a difference between
"measured in direction A and D" vs. "measured in directions A and D" or which is wrong.
Background: Three different measurements had been performed. Each of the measurements was simultaneously performed by five sensors in 5 directions: Direction A, B, C, D and E. However, a chart in the document shows only results for "direction A and D" (or "directions A and D" ?).
My feeling tells me that direction should be singular, because I could also say "direction A and direction D". (But there is no space to write it.)
Google shows more hits for singular: "direction 1 and 2."
I would appreciate your help. Thank you.
