Should I write "the respondents with most seniority" or "highest seniority"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Come oooon! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's probably most as a google search for most yielded 4 910 000 results while highest only yielded 1 490 000 results... |

i think I would have used 'highest seniority' but they both sound sloppy |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
You could say "the most senior respondents," too, couldn't you? |
||||||||
|
|

I don't know! Some of you ameglish shoulød help me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it should be "most seniority", if you're going to use an awkward word like "seniority"... i'd avoid it and do as mimi said. |

i did a mad fresh mortso-x diss on a toilet wall yesterday |

What would you say? It's a scientific paper. How should I describe the respondents who have worked longest in the company? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
WTF??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the most senior respondents... well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it said mortso-x = a slut or something :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd say just that. "The respondants who have worked longest in the company". "The most senior respondants" doesn't mean the same thing. Just becuase you've worked a long time in a company, doesn't mean you necessarily ascend its ranks. |

You could say, "The respondents of greatest seniority." Or, "The ones who were not yet such aged, decrepit shadows of their former selves that they were unable to hold a pen in their frail, shaking hands and respond, but were getting on a bit anyway." Whichever you prefer. |
||||||||

Ah! Thanks. Didn't know that it has anything to do with ranks. Vlari: Maaan. You couldn't make mad fresh diss on toilet walls even if Otto Jespersen held your hand! |

eh..? seniority has nothing to do with rank.. seniority is one of the things that is considered to decide whether or not someone is suited for some rank/advancement or for when companies have to fire people... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
it means both: sen·ior·i·ty Audio pronunciation of "seniority" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sn-yôr-t, -yr-) n. 1. The state of being older than another or others or higher in rank than another or others. 2. Precedence of position, especially precedence over others of the same rank by reason of a longer span of service. |

Ok. One more. PLZ help a dude. The correlations and the t-test reveal that the respondents with the highest work hours/most work hours/what??? score significantly higher on exhaustion work-home conflict |

I'd go for most work hours, but what do I know, I'm just a dirty southener |
