No, there is no subject line in an informal letter. Unlike the formal letter, there's no rigidity when it comes to the content of the letter as the tone and purpose of the letter is not official or professional. Hence, there's no need to highlight the context as informal letters are written to friends, family, and acquaintances.

Yes, depending on the context and meaning in a sentence, a noun can be both, countable and uncountable. Such nouns are called dual-use nouns and their countability depends on how they're being used.
For example:
· Here hair is very long (uncountable)
· There are three hairs in my soup. (countable- refers to individual strands)

Try putting a number in front of a noun or make it plural. If it works, its countable; if it doesn't, it is probably uncountable.
For example:
Bus: There are fifteen buses in my school. (Correct)
Anxiety: I felt two anxious. (Incorrect as it is uncountable)

Abstract nouns are usually not countable, however, they can be countable in specific contexts.
For example:
· He had two brilliant ideas.
· She gave me a piece of information.
