Maybe because "noodle" is vague and "spaghetti" is a specific type of noodle question mark?

Who invent spaghetti?

The word 'spaghetti' comes from Italian. This food is popularly believed to have been introduced to the West by the Venetian explorer Marco Polo following his visits to China. But while the Chinese have indeed been making noodles for thousands of years, they more commonly used rice flour than wheat flour. The type of long, thin, boiled noodle today referred to as spaghetti is more like to have been introduced to southern Italy by Arab conquerors in the 12th century. A fifth century Aramaic source (the Jerusalem Talmud) refers to a boiled noodle of this sort. A similar noodle has been attributed to an ancient people living in northern Russia. You would think it came from Italy, but it acctually came from China.


What is the meaning of countable and uncountable?

Linguistically, "uncountable" simply means "cannot be counted"; it's often used for things that would be impractical to count -- the number of stars in the sky, the number of grains of sand on a beach, the number of leaves in a forest. (The word "countless" is also used as a synonym.) There's another meaning in linguistics -- a "count" noun (sometimes but not often called a "countable" noun) is a noun that you can count. You can, for example, count sandwiches (we have five people coming to lunch so I'll make ten sandwiches), but you can't count milk. (Milk is an example of a "mass noun"; I can't have ten milks. I have to measure milk instead and pour five "quarts of" or ten "glasses of" milk.) There's also a more technical meaning in mathematics -- a "countable" number is a number that is either finite, or at most as large as the number of natural numbers (0,1,2,3,4,....). Yes, there are infinitely many natural numbers --- but infinity comes in different sizes and some sizes are larger than the size of the infinity of natural numbers. So the number of natural numbers is "countably infinity," while the number of sets of natural numbers is uncountably infinite. But the math gets hard and a little strange at this point.
