Note
The plural does different work depending on which talent is meant. For abilities, it counts the separate skills one person has, as in her musical and athletic talents. For the ancient unit of weight and money, it counts sums, as in talents of silver. The collective sense, people of talent viewed together, usually stays singular (the local talent), though gifted individuals can still be counted as young talents.
