Talk:revenge

Lists the word as uncountable and then provides a plural form. Forgive me if I'm ignorant, but I thought 'uncountable' meant is has no plural form. Also, I've never heard anyone use 'revenges'. 22:22, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes, that's sort of right, but in fact "uncountable" is just a default which can almost always be overridden. It gives helpful information to language learners, but shouldn't be taken to mean there's absolutely NO plural. The plural is rather rare, but it can be found. For example, there are 15 instances in the Corpus of Contemporary American English (e.g., monarchs and presidents of nations little bigger than swimming pools spent their lives plotting their revenges).--Brett (talk) 01:58, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
