Are the phrases skill set and skill sets both correct?
As I see it, set implies a single set of related skills whereas sets can be taken to mean multiple sets of skills around different concentrations.
Thoughts?
Answer
Skill is a noun, not an adjective. However in that phrase it is used as a noun adjunct, so it serves as an adjective.
Aside from that, I agree entirely. "Well, that matches my skill set" and "The two jobs need completely different skill sets" being valid singular and plural uses, respectively.
