Note
A regular plural, made with a simple -s, that covers only the countable side of accusation. Separate charges brought in court and separate allegations can be counted and listed one by one. The act of accusing, used as a mass noun (a look full of accusation), takes no plural. So the plural always points to particular claims, never to accusing in general.
