Grammar

C=countable, U=uncountable, S=??

Hi. Does anyone know what S stands for in the Cambridge dictionary when it's used as a grammar code for nouns? They do have a breakdown of what all the letters and codes mean except for this one I'm afraid. Thanks for you help.

Right, of course. I should have thought about it. They are for example "dead end" meaning a situation, not a road or "sun" or "earth" as a planet...
