Correspondece or correspondences
Is "correspondences" the plural form of "correspondence", or is the noun understood to mean more than one without adding an "s"?
Top answer
The noun may be countable or uncountable. If you say, "I have three piles of correspondence to go through before I can leave," it's uncountable. But you could also add an "s" in this example and make it countable.
