Have you ever learned anything on the spot?

Yesterday I accidentally learned that you can reposition the closed captions on YouTube videos. I waa at the Smartboard talking about how the cursor and my finger were a couple of inches apart, and I accidentally dragged the captions of a YouTube video that we were watching.

Thanks! I've used emails as a plural of email for a long time, referring to the messages. Not a native speaker, maybe it's something Dutch people do with some loanwords. Never softwares or the (more recent) codes, though.

Nah, people do say "emails" all the time and it's perfectly fine.

Eg. "But her emails!"

Heh, thanks. I did just look up what people on StackExchange thought about it, and in short: both are correct, although the word originated as a mass noun (uncountable).
