How do you know it’s things? How do you know it’s not actually stuff?

Things are countable, but stuff is not. Pennies are things. Water is stuff.

You can’t call anything ‘stuff’ under this definition, since everything exists in a quantity greater than zero in some dimension.

Well yes, but that’s just how it is. Even sand falls under “stuff” when it’s clearly made up of technically countable tiny grains. It’s just a matter of what’s reasonable to do without special equipment.

English is a weird language.

In the english language, ‘stuff’ and ‘quatities’ are not exclusive. I’m not really sure how you got the impression that they are.

Huh. I could swear I’ve heard otherwise. Oh well.

but you can measure, and quantify it (water/sand) into amounts, like cups or gallons, buckets.......... so wouldnt that make it a “things”

Well, sure. But imagine your fork at a restaurant had some green goo on it. Would you tell the waiter that it has stuff on it, or would you say it has things on it?

i was thinking...... so long as the stuff is in a container, it is a thing, but so long as it is in a non quantifyable amount it is stuff....?? ..... so a handful is a thing right??

i would say of the fork “it has some-thing on it”........ but i get what you are saying ...... good stuff
