Hi, All!
I learned recently that an English pie can be countable and uncountable. What does the latter mean? For instance, I read:
"It's hot in here, isn't it?" asked Constance the next day. She was sitting at the dining room table with the other children, two of whom were eating pie and ice cream with expressions of immense satisfaction."
I understand uncountable ice cream, but I don't understand uncountable pie. ;-)
PS: It was The Prisoner's Dilemma, by Trenton
Bye, All!
