Note
A regular plural that serves both meanings of the singular. In the everyday sense it compares ways of living, such as the lifestyles of mountain villages or of city renters. In marketing it counts segments of the market, each defined by what its members like and would buy, so a brand can target several lifestyles at once. Context, not form, tells the two apart.
