Align.... Is it correct if I say "we need align some points" when I'm talking about informations?

I have not heard of ¨align some points¨ and when I put in ¨align points¨ on Google the results came up talking about aligning text (as working physically with text in writing, so I do not think it is a good phrase to use).  When you want to share information so that everyone can work together, I would call that collaborating.  https://www.nutcache.com/blog/the-importance-of-collaboration-in-the-workplace/

I would say ¨we need to share some information in order to collaborate on some points...¨

Yes, I have the same question with you. And I think it is always used in an invitation of a meeting. Actually, I think the organizer wants to discuss something and get a result.

First of all, information has no plural (like „informations.“ That’s not a word in English). You can say „This is information. These are pieces of information, or bits of information.“  That’s about all you can do in trying to make a plural out of information. It’s just one of those odd words that has no plural. Other languages do have a plural of information, which is probably the reason for the confusion. 


And I don’t understand what you mean by „align some points.“ If you could explain more, I could help.

How about:

"Will you line everyone up with us for a Monday morning meeting? See if you can line up a meeting with SHL and Susan.
