Cantonese. Apr 17, 2013. #1. I'm writing this sentence: The company has a history of promoting XXX for more than 10 years. I'm wondering if I should change it to: The company has a history of more than 10 years of promoting XXX. I simply can't tell whether either has (or doesn't have) grammatical mistakes.

London. English - England. Aug 24, 2020. #2. A sole trader is a lone trader, one person operating on his or her own – a one-man business (colloquially, a one-man band).
