food is a collective noun when talking about one type of food, foods is a plural for different types of food...

Awe03 12-27-2004 09:56 AM

how can you say the FDA is wrong. that's a "weak" reasoning.
you r just saying they are wrong, but there must b a reason why they are using it. and don't tell me cuz they are dumb

i dont think it's for emph. actually peoples means "A body of persons sharing a common religion, culture, language, or inherited condition of life." so peoples is usually used in history books.

that's funny too "moneys" there's no such word as "moneys" but there is such word as "monies", even my business teacher uses monies.

i once heard on the news " people are traveling in the skies and on the oceans this xmas" i wonder how sky can be counted? is it one piece?

if you r smart enough to answer please give me an example, and a rule.

food can be plural or non plural =/ it really doesnt matter since "foods" isnt even a word =X

hotsexi_chic 12-27-2004 02:59 PM

here's another example that someone did use the word "foods" but i still need a rule to know when to use it.

"These are foods I've made..and I'm sure no one else has done...


-Sun dried banana chips covered in caramel and chocolate.

-Deep fried burrito(lettuce,shredded cheddar,ground beef) with fried shrimp and tartar sauce.

-Minced onions,Food loin brand fish sticks,Champelles tomato soup mixed with Easy Mac,"

type food into dictionary.com.

it doesn't even say "plural for food", it gives the definition for food.

see, it's not a word, so there.
