Words in the News (II)

Word in the News: Countyside
Countryside

The green legacy of the Diamond Jubilee which will see the
countryside benefit from conservation projects is on the front
of the Sunday Express.
VOCABULARY
The countryside is land outside towns and cities, with fields,
woods, etc. The word countryside is uncountable, which means
that you cannot use it in the plural or with the indefinite article.
For example, the sentence "England has a beautiful countryside"
would be wrong. You would have to say something like  
"The English countryside is beautiful".
