"All purchase activity" or "All purchase activities"?

English Language & Usage Asked by Trần Quang Sơn on March 30, 2021

I am checking the grammar for my app and I find myself being unclear on which of those two I should use.

The original sentence runs as follows:

Once you start using your card, all purchase activity will be
displayed here.

I have conducted some research, and it looks as if either could be used.

Is there a difference between the two? If so, which one would be more appropriate and/or grammatically correct, for my app?

I would greatly appreciate any and all replies.

One Answer

The former is uncountable, the latter countable.

The former is more formal, and also more elegant, in this case.

Other than that, the two mean exactly the same thing.
