I've been doing a bit more (shameful really ) on my thesis this week. I came across this line and I didn't like it much. Anyone help me with it a bit? Thanks Vadim

What about: The use of shoe nozzles has advantages and disadvantages. or, if you prefer to keep the 'many': The use of shoe nozzles has many advantages and disadvantages.

I agree; drop the "many". It's to woolly a word, especially if used in a thesis.

I wouldn't mind 'many' if it is there to make clear that there ARE many (rather than just a few) dis/advantages. However, I know nothing about shoe nozzles, so I have no idea whether this might be the case!

However, I know nothing about shoe nozzles, so I have no idea whether this might be the case! I'm supposed to be a world expert on them! No, backing up what you say, Susan, there are only a few dis/advantages - not many. I could look through the entire thesis like this and I'll be 95 before I submit!
