Thanks in advance,

Vote for a change. (a specific change)
Vote for change. (change in general)

Pat: Sam is doing the dishes!
Max: Sam never does the dishes.
Pat: I know. He has changed. (i.e., become a different person)
Max: Yes. Sam has definitely changed!
Sam: I did the dishes. :D How's that for a change (of pace/behavior)?
Pat & Max: It's a welcomed change, Sam. 8)
