There are some words in English that are uncountable. For example: cheese, furniture, music, evidence, research, knowledge, information, etc. When we speak of those things in plural, we still use the singular form: "I would like to order a four-cheese pizza", "Let me give you some of my furniture", "We need to consider all the evidence", etc.

Dutch are somewhat prone to make due to peculiarities of the
Dutch language. When this happens, some call it "Dutchlish".
Here is a collection of common mistakes, (or examples of Dutchlish, if you
wish,) that I collected over the course of several years of living in The
Netherlands.
