This is the text from (info "(eintr) Lisp Atoms"): There are many kinds of atom in nature but only a few in Lisp: for example, “numbers”, such as 37, 511, or 1729, and “symbols”, such as ‘+’, ‘foo’, or ‘forward-line’. I think that it should indeed be "many kinds of atoms" here, so I have now fixed this on emacs-28 (commit 98eb6d783a). This change will be a part of the upcoming Emacs 28.1.

How can there be a few of a singular form? Even when I replace “Atom” with “indivisible” it sounds quirky. When I use “indivisibles” it sounds much better in my opinion. Where is the comment you’ve added? Thanks Eli!
