which one is correct; salesman or saleman ?o

Question

why do we say sportsman?or craftsman except sportman "craftman?what does "s" refer to?

Answer 1

hi,

Salesman is correct one.

it is just because a salesman works in sales (different kinds of selling & business)

Sale: used for something (limited) in sale for a short time.

sales: used for something (not limited) in sale for a long period.

 

Sales: selling something, marketing, reporting, ordering ...

So a salesman does every work which is related to his/her business (not a limited action)
