Is French Fries uncountable? - WordReference Forums
Myridon said: There are a lot of things that are countable that are not counted when they are served. The server is not going to count out 400 French fries instead of measuring them into a container. You also cannot order 25 grapes or 13 almonds. They are going to give you a container of those things because it would be stupid to count them.

other ways of saying"extend the deadline" - WordReference Forums
sdgraham said:"Deadline" is such a common word in the language of publishing/news business, I think your concerns are unnecessary, and possibly counter-productive. I agree. I have also heard people ask,"Is that a hard deadline or a soft one?" meaning is the deadline absolute or approximate.

at/in (the) reception - WordReference Forums
Ah, yes, I see that - I now disagree with myself . Of course, that would be a party. 'Meet me at reception' sounds to me incomplete though. I do want to see the definite article - something like 'Meet me at the reception desk/counter' would do just fine for me. PS. Of course, insofar as there is only one reception desk, we do not necessarily have to use the definite article. I know it is ...

is the word"cheese" uncountable? - WordReference Forums
Cheese is both countable and uncountable (sorry). It is countable if you are looking at a large display on the cheese counter. You could say"What a lot of cheese!", but that might mean a lot of one kind of cheese. Instead, you say"What a lot of different cheeses!" You are right, though, you should ask for two pieces of cheese, not two cheeses.
