✔ 最佳答案
Followings are uncountable nouns :
Information – you can change it into countable by adding a quantifying noun such as : a piece of information. However, even if you change it into countable, no “s” can be added at the end.
Experience – no “s” can be added at the end.

Followings are countable nouns that can have “s” at the end :
Apparatus - apparatuses
Instrument - instruments
Device – devices

Followings are both countable and uncountable, depending on situation. When they are countable, you can add “s” at the end.
Service - services
Advice - advices
Ability - abilities
Horizon - horizons : should be broaden my horizon (because you only have one horizon).
Horizons – this usually is used as geographical terms. We can have many horizons in the world.

1. This case is out of my hands, I am not in charge anymore. – correct
The meaning of this sentence is that the person who said this is not in charge of the case anymore, therefore he said “this case is out of my hands”.

2. On the top of my head, I can't remember who she is now. – correct
This means even I try very hard to think, I cannot remember who she is. (On the top of my head = think deeply.
