word choice - "For both our sake" or "for both our sakes"



Should sake be pluralized in this usage?





For both our sake, I'm going to leave now.



For both our sakes, I'm going to leave now.



Answer



Yes, the word sake can be pluralised. For both our sakes sounds a lot more natural than for both our sake. You can also say for all our sakes.
