Note
A plural that only makes sense once the process is counted. Every meaning of the singular works both as a mass noun and as a count noun, and the plural belongs to the count side: separate events, not the process in general. Marketers speak of brand activations as individual campaigns. In chemistry and physics, the plural names distinct episodes of making molecules reactive or of turning a stable element radioactive.
