Note
A regular plural that does double duty. Most often it counts stretches of mown grass, and in a laboratory it counts culture plates overgrown so thickly that no single colony stands apart. The fine linen or cotton called lawn is normally a mass noun, so its plural usually means pieces of the cloth, above all the fabric of a bishop's sleeves, a use that favors the plural.
