Note
The spelling does two grammatical jobs. As a noun plural it gathers fixed images of people, as in stereotypes about a group or gender stereotypes. In printing it names the cast metal plates themselves. The same form is also the verb's present tense after he, she or it: a film that stereotypes nurses. A determiner or adjective in front marks the noun. A subject before it and an object after it mark the verb.
