In response to Re Education in the UK (amused)

you are confusing the process of counting with grammatical terminology

Really? Some grammatical 'errors' are accepted as being normal speech these days, as in:- 'That supermarket has many different foods/fruits' or 'Two coffees please'

But 'foodstuffs'? Oh please!

'I'm moving house and have lots of 'stuffs'. Counting or grammatical terminology makes no difference.

As far as I can see, 'foodstuffs' is not in any dictionary, so that makes it colloquial, slang, or just plain WRONG ! (IMHO)
