Note
The countable side of a noun that also works as a mass noun. Every meaning of denial can be counted or left uncounted. The plural keeps only the counted kind, so denials are separate statements or refusals, each made on its own occasion: a spokesperson's repeated denials, the denials of several requests. When the meaning is a state of mind, such as refusing to believe a problem exists, the singular does the work. The plural counts occasions instead.
