bathwaters?[edit]

In what sense is this noun countable? The water with which a single bath is filled, so that multiple baths are filled with their respective bathwaters? Or what? -- Smjg 10:10, 4 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

This is a sample of Bathwater A and this a sample of Bathwater B, both bathwaters are being analysed ... —Saltmarshαπάντηση 10:16, 4 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that's the idea, but I've edited the entry in a way that we use to try to indicate that the uncountable sense is more common. DCDuring TALK 22:43, 13 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
Can you find any evidence of this countable sense in use? There shouldn't be a plural mentioned if no countable sense is. -- Smjg 01:17, 18 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
Here's some from Google News. DCDuring TALK 00:04, 5 February 2010 (UTC)Reply
