The word.
Here's one definition I came across:
That's fine - but it grates on my nerves every time I hear someone say the equivalent of "a software". It hurts as badly as if the person had said "I'm going to bring my thirsty friend a water".
Though I've seen this usage in a bunch of places, here's the one that bugs me the most (probably because it's most-common):
"With Paycom, employees enter and manage their own data in a single, easy to use software".
Ug! It's like chewing tinfoil...
Here's one definition I came across:
Software, instructions that tell a computer what to do. Software comprises the entire set of programs, procedures, and routines associated with the operation of a computer system. The term was coined to differentiate these instructions from hardware—i.e., the physical components of a computer system. A set of instructions that directs a computer’s hardware to perform a task is called a program, or software program.
