myths
- 1Plural of myth.

The article debunks several common myths about vaccines.
Note
A regular plural that counts what the singular can also leave uncounted. Myth as a genre takes no plural, so one studies Greek myth as a whole body of storytelling. The -s form always means separate items instead: individual stories of gods, heroes and origins, or individual false beliefs, as in exposing the myths about a famous person. Context, not the form, tells you which kind is being counted.
