Re: [Pharo-dev] [Bloc] content vs contents

This is for bloc so may be contents is better. I will check when it is used and if it returns a collection then we will rename it to contents. I would prefer contents if the majority of implementors use contents over content like that I have a smaller probability of mistakes. Stef Le 6/3/16

Greek here, but in this case of Bloc if you intent to return a collection it will be better to use "contents" , other than that Stuart explanation is perfect. Even for a book we say "table of contents". "Content" is used to refer to a single item or the uniform structure or a collection of items

It depends on whether or not you expect the content(s) to be an uncountable mass, or discrete items. Contents is probably best when not sure. You would talk about the contents of a box, but the content of an article. You could also talk about the contents of an article without raising too many
