Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of the singular, and some of those meanings divide by region. In US usage, lineups can be the police kind, where a witness picks out a suspect. In Canada the word also means ordinary queues, so a Canadian might complain about the lineups at the bank. More broadly, lineups are ordered lists: a team's members, a batting order, or the trains due over a stretch of track.
