Subject:Administrators or Administrator's Manual From:"Hickling, Lisa (TOR)" <lhickling -at- Express-Scripts -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Fri, 21 Apr 2006 10:59:05 -0500
It all comes down to picking one and sticking with it. My preference is
[Administrator's | User's] Guide based on the capacity of the document's
audience. You're an Administrator? This is your guide (even if 10 of you
are using the book at the same time)!
If we go with *Administration* Guide do we have to follow with *Usage*
Guide? :-\

I would also suggest single person possessive because only one person
(presumably) will be using the book at a time. I like Janice's
suggestion of Administration Guide because that just takes away the need
for the pesky little apostrophe.

Does anyone know if it's more acceptable to use Administrators or
Administrator's when naming a manual Administrators Manual? I googled it
and got about a 50-50 usage.
