Note
A plural that appears only when oregano stops being a mass noun. In the kitchen the herb is usually uncountable (a pinch of oregano, not two oreganos), so the -s form signals kinds: the several Origanum species, or Mexican oregano, a different plant altogether, Lippia graveolens. Use it when comparing varieties, as a spice merchant or gardener might. For the leaves themselves, keep the singular.
