The recent emergence of "damages" as plural of damage - when "damage" was already plural and "damages" used to be reserved solely for legal damages - bugs me a bit. "Not responsible for any damages caused" should be "not responsible for any damage caused."

I'm also not a a fan of "learnings" and "trainings", which used to never appear with an 's' at the end.

But for internaional English, those ships appear to have sailed (and I understand how they happened, linguistically).
