用法筆記

Uncountable in this sense — you would not say a regulation to mean the process of controlling. Frequently appears in academic writing, legal texts, and policy discussions. Distinguish from sense 1: this is about the activity of controlling, not any single written rule.

常見錯誤

The government introduced tighter regulation of the industry.
When you mean the process of controlling, use regulation as an uncountable noun; for a specific written rule, use the countable sense 1.

We need regulation of the banking system.
When referring to the overall system of control, use the singular uncountable form.
