Note
A plural that strains against its singular: recognition is usually a mass noun, whether it means identifying something familiar, accepting a claim as valid, or honoring someone. The plural comes alive when each instance is a separate event, such as awards handed out one by one or one country after another formally accepting a new government. For the abstract idea, keep the singular: the work earned recognition, not recognitions.
