Note
A regular plural that counts separate occasions rather than the activity itself. Demonstration can be a count noun or a mass noun in each of its meanings, and the plural belongs to the count side: separate protest marches, separate product shows, separate shows of military force. When the meaning is the general act of showing, or of expressing feeling outwardly, the singular mass noun is used instead. In prison slang, the plural can also count beatings one inmate gives another.
