One grammatical feature of English that I really have a problem with is the difference in use between much and many. I even made the mistake of writing "much compromises" in an essay.
I know the rule: use much for uncountable nouns, many for countable. But still, sometimes much just seems more right with a countable noun. I think that it has something to do with the colloquial speech of many Americans. In films and television series, I'm sure that I have heard it wrong a few times. And even if that makes a character more believable for the audience, it makes it difficult for the language learner!
