Note
A regular -s plural that carries only the countable side of the word. Requests for a job or a place at a school, software programs, and particular uses of a method all count up naturally. When application names the act itself, such as the laying on of a coat or the bringing of means to an end, it is usually a mass noun and stays singular: the application of pressure, not applications.
