Subject:Count nouns-Downtime From:Peter Kelly <Peter_Kelly -at- BERCLAIN -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 27 Jun 1997 15:57:54 -0400
I have what perhaps many of you think is a stupid question and would be
greatly obliged if an English expert could help me out. I am working in a
bilingual environment, that is, we speak French but write in English. Could
someone tell me for certain whether downtime is a count noun and can thus
take a plural.
Many thanks, Vive le Canada !
