Note
Pluralizing turns a feeling into a list. Uncountable enthusiasm is eagerness in general, while the plural usually counts the particular things a person is keen on. It pairs easily with possessives and with adjectives of judgment, as in her enthusiasms or his scattered enthusiasms. George Orwell's 1984 (1948) sharpens it into contempt, calling Parsons "a mass of imbecile enthusiasms."
