quicko: an ice cream

In Australian English, "ice cream" can be a countable noun. Now, for the non-English teachers among us, perhaps I should expound. ("Expound" means "explain.") Most nouns are countable: you can have a singular form and a plural form, which is most often made by adding an "s." Thus, you can have one baboon, two baboons or a whole bevy of baboons. Some nouns, though, are uncountable. These do not, for lack of a better word, pluralize. They include such common examples as information (not informations), stuff (not stuffs), advice (you can have a "piece of advice," but there "piece" is your operative noun, not advices) and many foods: milk, sugar, flour, beef, etc. In American English, "ice cream" is uncountable -- you can get as many scoops of ice cream as you want, but not "ice creams." In Australia, though, you can. Furthermore, what they refer to as "ice creams" generally aren't scoops at all, but individually wrapped cones, fudgsicles and the like. We could talk about how much these monsters cost, but I think for now it'll be best to quit while we're still ahead.
