I am very surprised to hear that the word information exists in the plural form.
You go to the job centre and inquire about some information as to the vacancies for bus drivers.
It should be some information not some informations.

Andrei, excuse me for saying this, but have you read my post??? Information doesn't have a plural form and, yes, it's uncountable. You can only say "piece of information" to make it countable, as far as I know.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi Novalee,
I have been on duty in the last 12 hours , so I could not Log-in to check my Mail.
Well, well, I guess you are right with plural form.
Please note, I need a profound lesson in basic-English-grammar, to be able to make a qualified acountable assessment.
However, your contribution has given me a good start for my Prep. for the CELTA in September.
