I am with Pete. A choice is an option between more than one entity. 1 Choice, 2 Options. Once an option is chosen its a chosen option not a choice.

Now thats much clearer. Anyone with a degree in English?

The selection you make is the one you choose.... that is your choice... the options are the offerings [or lack of] to make the choice from..... if eggs are on the menu.... you can choose to have eggs.... or you can choose not to have eggs.... therefore two options for you to choose... therefore two choices.... even if there is only one item to select you still have to choose to have or not to have that item.... basically.... take it or leave it.... you can choose to take it [choice one].... or you can choose to leave it [choice two]

2.to prefer or decide (to do something): He chose to run for election.
3.to want; desire.
4.(esp. in children's games) to contend with (an opponent) to decide, as by odd or even, who will do something: I'll choose you to see who gets to bat first. –verb (used without object)
5.to make a choice: He chose carefully.
6.to be inclined: You may stay here, if you choose.
7.(esp. in children's games) to decide, as by means of odd or even, who will do something: Let's choose to see who bats first.

choice
1.an act or instance of choosing; selection: Her choice of a computer was made after months of research. His parents were not happy with his choice of friends.
2.the right, power, or opportunity to choose; option: The child had no choice about going to school.

You are all right, you have to choose between 2 choices which choice will you choose?

You are all right, you have to choose between 2 choices which choice will you choose?
Thanks for that. I think this is where its going wrong - You have to choose between two options, not choices.

So, as I see it - A choice is a singular act. The existence of multiple options does not make the choice plural- ie you dont have to make 2 choices, it just makes the elements of the choice plural. You are only performing one act (ie The Choice)

e.g

Example 1

"Would you like Roast Potatoes, Chips or Mash with your steak Sir?" = A Choice ie - You have a choice of accompaniments with your steak

"Very well Sir, Would you like Wine with your meal?" = A Choice - ie you have a choice of having wine or not.

Summary

During the process of ordering your meal you have made 2 choices, 1 for Mash and 1 for Wine. The amount of choices made can be calculated by simply adding the amount of distinct options chosen. In this case 1 + 1 = 2. In Pete's case 1 + 0 = 1.

Conclusion

I think the confusion stems from an inaccurate phrase widely used that goes something like this - "We offer a wide range of choices" - although even that doesnt sound right now? Nurse, I think its time for my medication


BTW - I am a computer programmer so it is my job to confuse people

Who'd have believed it?

Talk about straying from the subject.

For those of you who play the ponies, you know you have one choice for each race. No matter how many are running, you make one choice and place your bet.

I've found you have to state things in terms people can relate to.
