It's normally countable:
We are still waiting for the outcome of the election in Iraq.

tdol!!!
Thank you very much
I like to write more than before because I can get quick help for my writting.
A big ambition for my writting is that people don't feel irritated to read my paper. I can understand how bothersome to read an English paper from an unnative (this word exists?) speaker. I remember when I was In Vietnam, one day I answered a phone call and the other tried to speak Vietnamese to me but I didn't understand so I asked him to speak English . I am afraid that one day American will ask me to speak Vietnamese because they don't understand my English
Thank your very much
Tam
