Note
The plural only appears where standing can be counted. Every sense of the noun works both ways, so a family of good standing stays singular, while comparing several members' reputations, or several teams' positions, calls for standings. Keep it apart from the league table, which has no singular at all: there standings names the whole ranked list, not a set of separate ranks.
