Comment Re: What debate? Mass vs Count noun (Score 1) 248
That's nice that you knew some Latin and are also familiar with the mass/count distinction, but I question whether you're a native English speaker, when you claim that a server asks if you want "mashed potato". It's always always always mashed potatoes.
The big question is if the chef literally only mashed a single potato and served it to you, would it still be mashed potatoes?
