Note
The counted form, used when change comes in separate instances rather than as an abstract process. Every meaning of the singular can be counted, so the plural turns up across fields. A mathematician studies transformations of a coordinate system, a grammarian lists the transformations that turn one syntactic form into another, and a biologist may compare bacterial transformations. For the process itself, the uncountable singular is still the natural choice: transformation takes time.
