Hi, Anton Shepelev! -> Alexander Koryagin

 AK>> I learned recently that an English pie can be countable and
 AK>> uncountable.
 AS> Absolutely.
 AK>> I understand uncountable ice cream, but I don't understand
 AK>> uncountable pie. ;-)

 AS> In English, they are the same. Both `cream' and `pie' can denote
 AS> the substance, rather than the thing it constitutes. In /Dasee
 AS> Macabre/ Steven Kings quotes an old radio show where the jealous
 AS> dentist locked an adulterer in his dental chair and "let out some
 AS> of lover-boy". Yikes! but uncountable.

The absence of "a" article after "of" is another different English song. :) You can read some of it here:
https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/313276/is-there-a-solid-reference-rule-on-when-not-to-put-article-after-of

or here:
https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/104910/zero-article-after-of-in-a-change-of-place

 AS> For more pleasant example, heed Rosemary Clooney sing "I will give
 AS> you candy!" in /Come on a-My House/.

I heard that in songs the Grammar rules are not necessary at all. The rhyme is more important. ;-)

Bye, Anton!
