Hi,

Is there any difference between the words stuff and stuffs? I don't know if stuff is countable or not, but stuffs should be plural, shouldn't it? However, I searched Google to check about it and I've found that many pages have something as "Free stuff" or "Funny stuff" - it can't be that they offer only one thing on their page, but I've found "Cool stuffs" as well and I'm confused now.

Thanks in advance.

p.s. Does the usage of present perfect/simple past fit in the above paragraph?

Stuff is normally uncountable: I don't have much stuff. So cool stuffs is not good English. However, you will occasionally see it legitimately pluralized in some special uses, as for fabrics and scientific materials.
