I remember arguing in a similar way with a British many years ago, but it was about milk (there are different types, right?)

Basically any such noun can be countable if one is talking about types.

Of all the milks available, I’d have to say cow’s milk and goat’s milk are my two favorites.

Yeah, that was my point. He said no, that milk was uncountable and that you couldn’t use “milks”.

Writers would probably opt for “types of milk” or “milk types” ?

If one is going to correct others, they could at least be correct in their correction!

Still waters run deep.

Water being the mother of all liquids, I guess you could make a case for using a plural s for all liquids.

It’s not hard to find examples of “milks”.

And samples.

Your welcome. :slightly_smiling_face:

probably species too?

All the different coffees are tropical.

On milk, unleash the grammar nazis on vegan milks :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Perhaps the best way to settle this is, whoever buys the most coffee/coffees for Forumosa is right :grin:
