Practice

  1. 1

    Plural of considerable. Obsolete.
    Note

    A plural that exists only because considerable once worked as a noun meaning a thing to be considered, a consideration. The adjective, meaning significant or large in amount, never takes an -s, so this form belongs wholly to that obsolete count noun. In present-day writing the natural equivalent is considerations. Keep considerables for historical pastiche or quoted older prose, where it reads as deliberately old-fashioned.
