BNC is the evidence that "evidences" exist.
Dear Anglika, can you help me to figure out why "evidences" are used in the sentences below despite "evidence"is an uncountable noun?
Examples:
It is the purpose of premises to make sense of something and the purpose of evidences to make solid sense of it.
Premises without evidences are unsupported and weak; evidences without premises are meaningless.
It is as though all the proofs and evidences of philosophy had mistaken their rationality for how people actually think.
Well, I wasn't speaking about the, the evidence today, I'm speaking about evidences that have been taken in the past, where we had even trustees before the committee.
