Does it make sense to say something like this:
Can you contact the tech support as you are more aware of the technical side of things?
I'm trying to ask someone to contact the tech support as they are more familiar of the technical aspects of something…
Is it side of things or side of thing?
Best Answer
This answer extends on @Canadian Yankee's comment.
Short answer
The correct answer is "side of things", as @Canadian Yankee pointed out.
A note on "things"
"Things" can be used to describe general matters or topics as a "catch-all" phrase:
When used in this type of context, "things" is always plural and never singular.
On the plurality of the object of prepositions
A singular countable common noun does not come directly after "of" or any other preposition, so that should help in remembering the expression "side of things". Examples: 'in front of the table' (not 'in front of table'), 'next to a chair' (not 'next to chair')
