Sidenote, because I think this is fascinating:<p>Just because a noun is a mass word in one language, it doesn&#x27;t mean it has to be in other languages that have borrowed the word.<p>For example, in my language, &quot;lego&quot; is a mass word, and to make a plural you would have to say something like &quot;pieces of lego&quot;, but in English, the plural of &quot;lego&quot; is &quot;legos&quot;.
