Note
A plural that exists only where the singular can be counted. Achievement meaning the act of achieving is uncountable and takes no plural. The plural instead gathers separate things: feats and accomplishments, the awards a video game hands out for meeting an objective, and the full heraldic displays of a coat of arms. Linguists use it too, for the class of verbs that describe a change happening in an instant.
