    If there are two bike lanes merging into one, there are one, two or three bike lanes?

            Water isn’t countable but lanes are.

            What question are you answering?

            I believe there are about 55.508435 moles of H2O in a liter of water at sea level (basically assuming 1 liter of water = 1kg of water)

                Atoms of water are measured in moles. Atoms are discrete units, a mole is just a certain number of them

                  So you understand then why water is uncountable but atoms are not. Congratulations. What a strange pedantic hill you choosing to die on.

                    No, water is countable. Unfortunately you are incorrect.

                    EDIT: the word “water” isn’t usually made plural, but water the substance can absolutely be measured and counted.
