Note
In the plural, the word usually counts things rather than naming a quality: amenities and labor-saving features, each one a separate item. The abstract idea, the quality of being convenient, rarely takes a plural. In British use, conveniences can also mean public lavatories, short for public convenience. The same spelling also serves the verb convenience, 'to make convenient', as in 'it conveniences him.'
