Mention when countable usage is non-standard

[edit]

It's popular among some non-native speakers of English to use "code" in a countable way when referring to computer programs. So "codes" is used to mean "programs", as in "can you show me the codes you've written?" whereas in England and America "code" is used and "codes" is incorrect. If you have some ciphered messages then its correct to call them "codes". Akeosnhaoe (talk) 17:42, 27 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
