One day, feeling a bit down and in need of something new, I wandered into the Phuong Nam Bookstore. I picked up this book called "The Black Book" by Otegha Uwagba & I'm so glad I did. It's a must-read for any working woman who wants to succeed in her career. The book is full of great advice on how to get a good job, negotiate a raise, and build your confidence in the workplace. I'm already putting some of the tips into practice, and I can already feel a difference. If you're looking for a way to take your career to the next level, I highly recommend checking out this book. It's been a game-changer for me! #careergoals #workingwomen

You can actually use copy and copies. After researching from ten different grammar sites, copy can be used as singular and plural, but copies is still commonly used as plural. He copies him sounds better than he copy him. If copies isn't proper, then it wouldn't be a proper word when I search it up. Even the dictionary says that copies is the plural noun of copy. You can even sound some of these words out to see if they'd fit better. You can also use it in a sentence, like I did in the third sentence. Another interesting word with this would be data. A misconception is that data is singular, but it's actually plural. Datum is the singular form of data, just how copy is the singular form of copies. If we're talking about a job and not the word itself, then copies would still be correct as long as you word it properly. If you say you write copy, then you have to understand what the definition of copy means when phrased like that. In this case, I believe you're trying to say that you write a certain part of a written product. In this case, you can still use copies since you could say you write several parts, rather than using copy to say one part. Hopefully this helps everyone out.
