00 While I was sutdying in France my HND in Electrical Engineering, I studied "Computers" in general... so I wrote "computer" in my listing of units studied, but a colleague is now telling me that I would write "computing" and not "computer" as computing is, in his opinion, a more generic word... 02 br
02 br
00 So what do you reckon? "computer" or "computing" or both are acceptable. 02 br

00 Thanks in advance. 02 br

0 Hi Ludo, 02 br 02 br 00 "Computer" is not acceptable. You must write "Computers" or "Computing". Either would be acceptable, but I would agree with your colleague that the latter sounds more natural.
