Note
An -s that only the noun can take. Residential is first an adjective, as in residential areas and residential use. The noun, meaning a trip on which people live together for a while, is that adjective put to work as a countable thing. Adjectives never pluralize, so the -s belongs to the noun alone: two residentials, several residentials, but always residential streets, never residentials streets.
