[Editors] Grammatical question, a footnote

Hello everyone,

My dictionary has 'learning' as a noun in singular only,
but 'gleanings' as a noun in plural only: 'things that
are gleaned bit by bit.'

'Learnings' doesn't strike me as odd, any more than
'coffees' or 'sugars' does.  List members seem to be
united against it, however.

Eve
