Note
A plural that only the countable uses of reading take. Each thing it names can be counted: the values a gauge or meter shows, rival interpretations of a text, public events where work is read aloud, and the several pronunciations a written character can carry, especially in East Asian scripts. When reading means the activity itself, it usually stays singular: a lot of reading, not a lot of readings.
