Any human worker and any human workers..
0 In the textbook I'm teaching, there is a sentence that goes "RoboShop doesn't hae any human workers". 02 br
02 br
00 When I got students to translate the equvalent sentence written in my native language into English, some students wrote, 02 br
02 br
00 "RoboShop doesn't hae any human worker". 02 br
02 br
00 I'm wondering if both "any human worker" and "any human workers" are right. In my native language, if translated, they have no difference. How about English? 02 br
02 br
00 If both are correct and there is any subtle difference in meaning or usage, what is it? 02 br
02 br

00 Thanks very much in advance.... 0-
