Thank you very much for your comments. That is a very good point you made there. I'm only puzzled that I didn't think of that myself. :-)

Have a nice weekend.

Neither do I. :-) But we had a discussion here because the distinction made by Oxford Dictionary between "action" as countable and uncountable is very obscure. As I wrote before, I just do not see the big difference between "the process of doing something in order to make something happen or to deal with a situation" and "a thing that somebody does" (see here: http://www.oxfordadvancedlearnersdictionary.com/dictionary/a...

Anyway, thank you very much for your reply. I will stick to "actions" as intended. :-)

In that case it's definitely "actions" as far as I know - and I don't know why you'd want to use "action" here.

That clearly has to be "actions". Once a number is associated with it, it can't be uncountable.

"Group action" would be the total of all actions (perhaps restricted to a particular project, area, ...).

Hi Liz! The context, in which I wish to use the word, is "Two Group actions" (Group meaning our company).

Can you possibly give some context in which you want to use either version? Thanks!
