<pedant> (borrowing an idea I have seen before - a html tag for pedantic
comments)

Analysation (or analyzation) is the action of analysing or analysis.
Hence it is possible to pluralize this.
Thus the word 'analysations', though uncommon, does exist.

As always I thank the OED for the bit of information above - whether anyone
else does is another matter!

Or continuing even later. Do not worry though - many just pop in and say hi
for a few minutes. If you can make it then it would be cool to chat. We
welcome all in the chat - no matter what shipper preference they have <vbg>.

Visiting the chat eGroup allows you to view the transcripts from the last
few weeks' chats. It gives an indication of the things that go on. We do try
to discuss Harry Potter related stuff, but ever so often we just wonder off
into silly-land!
