TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
That's a different question. Perhaps I am quartered at a branch office
in Sheboygan of a company headquartered in New York. In that instance, I
am not headquartered anywhere. However I have a headquarters. It just
happens to be elsewhere than where I am. So if you were to ask me where
I am headquartered, the truthful answer would be "nowhere." But if you
were to ask me where my headquarters be, the truthful answer would be
"New York."
In answer to the original query, I prefer treating headquarters as a
singular noun. But that's just my personal preference. Do whichever you
like.
