ola olabiy: And,

Did you know that 'SPACE' is an uncountable noun as well?

Well, you can 'enrich' it by saying, for example, 'much space'.

lol

Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by demainman: 5:37pm On Dec 27, 2012

Waoh! I enjoyed every bits of your lecture. can't wait to learn more. More grease to your elbow as you do so.

Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by Ola one: 9:43pm On Jan 06

Idolys:

Thanks. I didn't make any clarifications; so, I'm sorry. I should have been more explicit.

It is countable. And, it is uncountable (mass noun).

noun
[mass noun]

1 a continuous area or expanse which is free, available, or unoccupied: a table took up much of the space

ola olabiy: Let's talk about two words today.

EVIDENCES;
SLANGS.

Please note:
The word EVIDENCE has no plural form. It could however be plural when it relates to scientific facts/objects. BUT never plural when it relates to information used in court.

Incorrect: Evidences are legion of unjust arrest and brutalisation of people.
Correct version: Evidence are legion of unjust arrest and brutalisation of people.

Also, the word SLANG has no plural form.

Incorrect: Such slangs are common among students.
Correct version: Such slang is common among students.

You can also say: Slang words/terms/expressions.

What do you think?

Re: ABC Of Common Errors And Mistakes In English by Akanimoh Friday(m): 11:48am On Feb 28

Nice one there. These words : subtle, comb, lamb, bomb, plumb, plumber, numb etc, the 'b' is not pronounced. What do you think?
