"Have no objections" vs "have no objection"

remorse is uncountable. It will have to remain in the singular.

I have no remorse.

objection is countable. One may have more than one objection. So either the singular or the plural is possible.

I have no objection.
I have no objections.

To my ear, the singular sounds better in these cases, at least when the sentences are no

Ok, that's a good start CJ. However, is the countable rule the unique way to tackle this problem?

Hi,

Perhaps a slightly different way to look at it is that speaking of 'no objections' acknowledges that there may/may have been the possibility of multiple objections.

Best wishes, Clive

is the countable rule the unique way to tackle this problem?

I doubt it. If so, it would be surprising. There are, more often than not, multiple ways of approaching such situations. Do you have another approach that you prefer? What is the general shape of the "solution" to the problem that you envision? Are you looking for a never-fail rule of some kind,

Can you say the general solution? Is the general shape of the solution different from the general solution?

What's the general shape mean here?

'general shape of' invites more discussion on various aspects of a possible solution. Which aspects are more important, which are less important, how much depth or rigor is required, and so on. It's like asking "What kind of solution did you have in mind?" 'general solution' suggests one statement that solves everything at once. Normally, we can't arrive at a general solution for someone
