    Note

    A form that can only be a noun: English adjectives take no plural, so this spelling always points to the noun spectacular, never to the adjective meaning amazing. It serves both nouns behind it: lavish staged shows and the folded paper pop-ups tucked inside a mailing. Context tells them apart, because audiences watch spectaculars while the people who receive a mailing unfold them.
