Заметки по употреблению	Used for uncountable nouns (like water or time) rather than countable nouns (like apples or books). Formal in academic contexts, but generally acceptable in everyday conversation.	Use 'measure' when talking about quantities, sizes, or lengths. It's neutral, so it's appropriate in both casual and formal settings. Avoid using it in very informal contexts where slang might be preferred.	Used in contexts relating to amounts, measurements, or counts. Common in both spoken and written English.	Use 'total' in contexts involving amounts or sums. It's appropriate for both casual and formal speech, but avoid using it in technical or scientific contexts where precise terms are preferred.	Use 'volume' for both physical space and sound levels. It's neutral and appropriate in most contexts, from casual conversations to formal discussions. Avoid using it for abstract concepts like 'volume of work.'
