Note
A plural that carries one meaning of its own: the refuse left after sifting sand, coal or ashes through a screen is called screenings, in the plural, even though it is a single heap of material. Elsewhere the form simply counts separate acts, such as health screenings for disease in people without symptoms, or the vetting of job applicants and investments. Mesh for screen doors is uncountable, so it seldom takes this form.
