Note
The plural belongs only to the countable uses of modification: separate changes that can be listed or agreed one by one. The process itself (modification of a design) does not pluralize. Linguists use the plural for changes a word undergoes in construction, such as am becoming 'm in I'm, or when it is borrowed into another language. Biologists use it for non-inherited changes an organism picks up from its environment.
