Fwd: Re: our appointment

[Lynne Murphy]

I think someone on this list recently mentioned the countability of
'e-mail' (in the discussion of the countability of 'chad').  I just
got the following message from a (British) student, and the use of
'e-mails' struck me as something I would never do--but I think my Dad
might do it as well.  (Although Dad usually says "I'll see if I've
gotten any faxes"  And I say "You mean 'e-mail'."  And he says
"Right.")
