Tissue

i,

I've been taught that "tissue" is an uncountable noun. So how come I read some books saying " a tissue? Is it just ok?

'Tissue' is a word that can be used either way. It depends on the context.



eg The police found traces of human tissue on the weapon.



eg Mary bought a box of Kleenex tissues.



Best wises, Cl

I was pertaining to tissue paper. So we can say "tissues"?
