With the ongoing crisis over the world, the pc components shortage isn’t a big problem. But if we make memes about the war and files, paid PR bots are reporting and commenting shit and the post will be deleted. We people must not see those things as a joke and make memes to farm fake internet points. E files are totally normal now and people are commenting like that as nothing. I humbly request everyone to not make fun of those things and try to understand the situation yourself more than knowing from someone’s perspective.

Mass nouns are very hard for nonnative English speakers. The examples that I find really annoying are "softwares" and "codes".

    E(mails). Community supports. Livings. Literally.

    To say nothing of "the above" or "the below"; but, unlike French, there is no governing body to decide what is "new ad-hoc fun expression that breaks established rules and grammar but is popular on tiktok so we'll keep it" and what is "wrong. You fail."

    Sorry. Those of us who learned our 'much' from our 'many' in 3 languages find little excuse for this. :-\

    All Latin languages have mass nouns and most others do, too. Who refers to water as a plural? Air? What they lack is pattern recognition. "Everywhere I see this word, it's singular, but I don't notice things no matter how often I see them so I'm putting an s on the end "

    The issue here is more likely having no idea what RAM stands for and thus not knowing that it's a mass noun in the first place.
