Note
A plural that only works for the countable uses of discussion: separate conversations or debates, or separate written treatments of a subject. The mass sense takes no -s, so months of discussions counts the meetings, while months of discussion treats the talk as one continuous activity. The old medical use, the dispersal of a tumor, is obsolete.
