Any problems vs any problem
My guess is that both of these sentances are correct, but since a buddy of mine commented that it should be "Any problem" instead of "Any problems", I am a little unsure.
I usually ask this since the person can have more than one distinct problem, so I write problems...
a) Let me know if you have any problems.
vs
b) Let me know if you have any problem.
That you, this forum is wonderful.

Both are correct, but even if you think they will have no problems, or even one problem, "any problems" is more common. With "any questions" or "any question" the singular would sound really odd.

what about "any problems" and "a problem"? I meant, if "problem" can be added "s", why it cannot be singular?
eg. there is a problem. Are there any problems? Is there a problem?
