Hi. I saw this question, but now I can't find it. I don't want to post a new question when it duplicates. Which question asked why after a verb, some nouns can be singular BUT some singular nouns must have an article. This is like ell.stackexchange.com/q/300702. Examples ✓ I have concern, I have concerns, I have difficulty, I have difficulties. I have apples. ✓ But X I have apple. X

@Vikas Yes, I saw it on Twitter. A terrible video, and the only redeeming thought is that they died instantly. One second, it flew level, the next second, it banked, and an instant crash.

@Vikas Trees' boughs will rake the cluttered sky again
rake
Noun: rake (plural rakes)
  1. (agriculture, horticulture) A garden tool with a row of pointed teeth fixed to a long handle, used for collecting debris, grass, etc., for flattening the ground, or for loosening soil; also, a similar wheel-mounted tool drawn by a horse or a tractor.

@CowperKettle That's pretty horrific. Though one might be willing to believe the producers genuinely didn't know of the danger of asbestos?
As opposed to the dangers of soot.

Wada test
The Wada test, also known as the intracarotid sodium amobarbital procedure (ISAP), establishes cerebral language and memory representation of each hemisphere. == Method == Medical professionals conduct the test with the patient awake. Essentially, they introduce a barbiturate (usually sodium amobarbital) into one of the internal carotid arteries via a cannula or intra-arterial catheter from the femoral artery. They inject the drug into one hemisphere at a time into the right or left internal carotid artery. If the right carotid is injected, the right side of the brain is inhibited and cannot...

@CowperKettle Also with fare, as in farewell.
