Speculation vs speculations
Hello,
I've read that "speculation" can be both countable and uncountable, yet most of the examples in my dictionaries
use it as an uncountable noun, e.g.
- Rumours that they are about to marry have been dismissed as pure speculation.
- Speculation about his future plans is rife.
- The prime minister's speech fuelled speculation that she is about to resign.
When is "speculations" used then and how is it different from "speculation"?
Can't I say that someone's speech fuelled speculations or that there are many speculations about something?
Thank you
