overture problem

[Gee]

when i search ' medical information ' it returns 43317 results

but no results at all or little results for ' medical informations '

any one explain?

medical informationS? Few people would make that mistake.

 

[Gee]

it is not the same here

if i searched for medical research and medical researches
it gives me same results of the single name

and many other examples of pleurals bring same results as single

don't know what is wrong with medical informations

 

[peter]

duh, informations is not a word, and I have never heard anyone use it

maybe that's why

LOL! I THOUGHT gotasale had figured that out. Yes, while researches could be used as the plural of research (very much like "modification"), information does NOT have a plural form at all, and actually takes on a singular verb. Okay, class dismissed. (I was an ESL teacher many years ago. )
