All Latin languages have mass nouns and most others do, too. Who refers to water as a plural? Air? What they lack is pattern recognition. "Everywhere I see this word, it's singular, but I don't notice things no matter how often I see them so I'm putting an s on the end "
The issue here is more likely having no idea what RAM stands for and thus not knowing that it's a mass noun in the first place.
My Malaysian colleagues seem to have a heck of a time with mass nouns. The talk about staffs taking leaves and leaving feedbacks. I would correct them but it feels like a losing battle.
