Note
A regular plural that counts very different things depending on which meaning of exchange is in play: several trades, several trading places, several central offices, several conversations, or, at the board, several rounds in which one piece is lost and another captured. Only the countable uses take the plural. When exchange names the activity in general, it stays singular. Context, not form, tells you whether exchanges are venues, words or pieces.
