Dec 20, 2015 at 21:21 | comment | added | The Nate | Disagree: This particular question is related, to be sure, but it's a significantly different case. That was an open and shut case which had answers that were generally good, but a bit vague for this example. This involves a fluid descriptor applied to a countable quantity. Even if the answer is there, calling it out here will likely help people find the answer. | |
