Note
A regular plural, made with a plain -s, that carries every meaning the singular has: course units in a degree program, interchangeable parts of a machine, sections of a program, packaged adventures for role-playing games. Mathematicians use it too, for structures that generalize vector spaces, with a ring supplying the multipliers in place of scalars. The form never changes, so only the surrounding context tells which field is speaking.
