All research VS All researches
I've found a sentence containing 'all research': '~~ the starting point of all research on play'
defines a noun research as [U] (also researches [plural])
1. In another dictionary of mine adds (usually researches [plural] in British English)
That means either research or researches is correct like in my example sentence, right?
Then, what other nouns, which have the same character as a noun research are there? : corresponding to the difference between British and American English like in 1 or just the characteristic of words themselves regardless British and Amercian English.

That's interesting, moon. I have been calling 'researches' wrong for several years now. I am not aware of other similar differences between BrE and AmE – but then, I wasn't aware of that one, either.

- Generally however, there are many,many nouns which can be both countable (hence, pluralized with '-s') and uncountable.
