Re: USAGE: Count and mass nouns

Well, the argument about "to gather" helped me a lot
to see things clearer, and finally it looks like I
wasn't completely wrong. Even less since we talked
about "massacre". The idea just had to be explained in
a more precise way.

So why should I give up thinking about this other
question ? Only through questions and doubt and
re-examination will there be progress.
