I've just happened to get stuck on the sentence in a coursebook. "We have to give gifts according to people's preference, age, and gender." Is it correct to use the word "preference" as an uncountable here? Having consulted the dictionary, I assume there's hardly any particular difference between using the word either as countable or uncountable. The expression caught my eye, I would rather say "people's preferences" in the context. Wonder what the natives would say.
