Note
A plain -s plural, but one that changes meaning with the setting. On a target, inners are shots in the second circle, between the bull and the magpie. In cricket they are thin gloves worn inside batting or wicket-keeping gloves. In UK politics they are supporters of remaining in the European Union, and in South Africa they are duvets without their covers. Context does all the work, so name the field when it is not obvious.
