Plural of "talent" [closed]

In the context:

We are always looking forward to incorporating new talents to our team!

Is it OK to pluralize it? Why?

Solution 1:

Yes.

Talent, like stone or rock, can be either a Mass noun (without plural: a lot of talent/stone/rock), or a Count noun (which can have plurals: a lot of talents/stones/rocks) that indicates a particular variety or individual instance of whatever the corresponding Mass noun means.

Solution 2:

If your team were acquiring new skills, those would be new talents that your team could show off.

Michael is a man of many talents.

In this case, however, talent is more likely referring to people, and is already plural.

The talent had to be paid for their labors.

Thus, assuming that you are talking about people and not skills, the answer is "No," pluralizing it is wrong, for the same reason that "sheeps" would be wrong.

Solution 3:

Talent can be used as a countable noun to refer to a person good at something or as an uncountable noun to refer to people good at something. Both talent (uncountable) and talents (countable) may be used in your example.
