Note
An ordinary -s plural that can carry any countable meaning of the singular. Most often it means credentials: abilities, completed training, and in UK usage the certificates, diplomas and degrees themselves. In argument it means limiting conditions, so to accept a claim with qualifications is to accept it with limits attached. Context, not form, tells the credential sense from the proviso sense.
