# Count / Mass

Welcome to the wonderful world of plurals coding! Here's the workflow:

1. Open the file `Seedlings/Compiled_Data/Count-Mass/[most recent one].xlsx`
2. Open the .opf file in Subject Files that corresponds to the first blank line in plurals\_list.
3. Link the video to the .opf file
4. Look for each plural from plurals\_list in the .opf file. They should appear in the excel sheet in the order they appear in the video. The ordinal value in plurals\_list should roughly match the ordinal in the opf file. **Don't worry about exactly matching the ordinals**, since they will be off by a few most of the time.
5. When you find a plural from plurals\_list, search the objects that are being referred to in the videos. 
6. Code the plurals in plurals\_list following these coding conventions:
   * **c = count.** More than one clearly delineated object, e.g. two hands
   * **m = mass**. No discernible separation between one object and the next, e.g. scrambled eggs
   * **u = unknown.** The object is invisible to you. Even if you can guess, put u if you can't see it.
   * **s = single.** A single object is the referent of the plural, e.g. they say "apples" but there's only one apple.
7. When you've finished a file, close Datavyu. NEVER SAVE ANY CHANGES YOU MAKE IN DATAVYU.
8. Remember that you *should* save plurals\_list! Do so often.
