Hi,

Can we use repair person instead of repairer? I �ve seen repair person somewhere but I �m not sure if it �s correct ...

Thanks in advance.

Hi hongduyen!

Both are correct. Repair man/person is more commonly used in the USA and repairer especially in BrE.

A hug!

Repairer -->

fixer, maintenance man, repairman,service man

Repairperson (one word)

.. this is the �politically � correct way of referring to a repairman or repairwoman..

cheers :)
