Note
A plural that only the countable uses of appreciation can take. Each of its meanings (valuation, true perception, a rise in value) works both as a mass noun and as a count noun, and the plural picks out separate instances: written appraisals of a composer's symphonies, or several distinct rises in an asset's value. Gratitude felt in general stays singular, as in 'a deep appreciation of her help'.
