### note

Usually uncountable (some lemonade), but countable for a glass or bottle (two lemonades, please). Meaning differs by country: still and cloudy in the USA and Canada, often fizzy and clear in the UK and Australia. Maths trap: money made is not profit; subtract what the lemons and cups cost.
