Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of the singular, from the rhetorical to the strictly technical. Talk of a king's realms or of magical realms has an archaic, rhetorical ring. The figurative use, as in realms of knowledge or influence, has none of that color. Science gives the word two precise jobs: zoogeographers divide the earth's surface into realms, and virologists rank realms above kingdoms.
