Hi, folks,

Which one is more natural for Americans?

BusinessReviews.com v.s. BusinessReview.com

I have always been perplexed by American's usage of singular and plural forms.

Obviously, phoenix is more natural than phoenixes, but it seems that loans is more natural than loan in choosing domains.

If you are reviewing multiple businesses, then BusinessReviews. I would use BusinessReview for an overall review of business in general.

For a business journal, BusinessReview.com.

Both seem pretty close but singular seems more authoritative.

The singular sounds like a service you are offering, to review a business or a source of reviews, a magazine which does independent reviews, the plural like a collection of reviews.

singular: http://hbr.org/magazine

plural: http://www.bbb.org/

I would setup a service website to connect experts offering to review business on singular, and post the reviews on plural.

These are good generic words. Are you sure it is not trademarked!

Hi, folks,

I have always been perplexed by American's usage of singular and plural forms.

Ideally you'd use both domains and forward them to a single website.

Both are idiomatic in American English. Yet they imply slightly different kinds of sites.

BusinessReviews.com would probably be best as a directory with reviews for businesses.

BusinessReview.com could be the name of a magazine or professional-grade blog that reviews topics of interest to the business world.

That's the primary difference I see between them. Both are excellent in their way.
