          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.

                    Sorry but some nouns (ie cats) can be counted while others (ie air) cannot be.
