Note
A regular plural with -s, and it belongs to the countable side of description: separate accounts in words, sets of features by which someone can be recognized, or the formal descriptions that introduce new taxa to science. When the meaning is the act or practice itself, as when linguists set description against prescription, the uncountable singular usually does the work.
