Note
The countable use of a noun that is just as often a mass noun. When speaking of earnings in general, English keeps the singular (a source of income, income tax). The plural appears when separate earnings are counted or compared: household incomes, low incomes, the incomes of two partners. In archaic Scottish dialect the same plural could also mean newcomers, a sense now usually carried by incomers.
