I think you should just go and read the wikipedia articles on countable and noncountable nouns and stop arguing with a literal inguist.

Sorry but some nouns (ie cats) can be counted while others (ie air) cannot be.

Yes exactly this. The sort who play dress up in daddy’s tactical gear and dreams of being a hero is also the sort to yell at a minimum wage employees who can’t defend themselves. They have never face real adversity and have no idea what it would be like.

I recently made a comment to the effect that if you’re from China, Russia, or the US you’re used to your country getting away with anything it likes and zero repercussions. As a result the populace is not psychologically prepared for things to go wrong compared to pretty much everyone who lives in the third world. My comment made people very angry, it was weird.

I’m sorry, it really sounds like it turned into an addiction for you. Very happy that you got away from it. Be careful with addictive substances or activities in your life, some people have a predisposition for it.

To you it doesn’t but I’ll leave that for you to resolve on your own.

So you understand then why water is uncountable but atoms are not. Congratulations. What a strange pedantic hill you choosing to die on.

Those are homonyms. Water versus waters. The second one is metaphorical.

I did enjoy your comment and you sound like you’ve had some linguistic training.
