Have I correctly used ‘mentioned,’ ‘to,’ ‘no such a,’ ‘even,’ and ‘too’ in my sentences below?

  1. He mentioned the phrase “many informations.”
  2. The term “information” is an uncountable noun. An s is not added to it to make it plural. Correct phrases would be “much information,” “little information,” “bits of information.” There is no such a word as “informations.” Even the phrase “different informations” is unacceptable, too.
