Nov 26, 2018 at 15:26 comment added user148298 Intersting. Consider people. It is countable in some cases and uncountable in others. We can say the "People of Europe" to mean all individual "persons" in Europe. We can also say the "Peoples of Europe" to mean the various population groups of Europe.

Oct 31, 2013 at 19:54 comment added LarsH I agree with this answer, that "software" is uncountable. But oddly, Wolfram has an ad campaign for Mathematica going right now with the slogan "One software to rule them all." I think that's a mistake, but it's unusual for a reputable geek company like that to let a grammar error slip out. Maybe the countable usage of "software" is creeping into accepted English.
