    Note

    Only the countable uses of the noun take a plural. Plotting in general is simply conspiracy, while separate schemes are conspiracies. The plural also serves the rare collective nouns, so a writer can speak of conspiracies of ravens or of lemurs. The same spelling doubles as the rare verb form, which is easily mistaken for this noun.
