Un règlement consiste en un ensemble de règles; c’est pourquoi le terme est toujours au singulier pour un sport donné en français, même si son équivalent anglais est pluriel. Le terme «règle» prend la forme nécessaire selon le sens : «les règles du jeu» signifie toutes les règles, «la règle sur le port obligatoire du casque protecteur» renvoie à une règle particulière du règlement sur le hockey. 4, record 1, French, - r%C3%A8glement

[...] sí hay algunas características definitorias del libro de bolsillo y las más sobresalientes son su reducido tamaño [...], su precio económico y su voluntad nómada. A éstas se añaden otras, como la ligereza de su encuadernación --generalmente con tapa de materiales blandos--, el encolado, la escasez de lujos en su edición, su presencia en puntos de venta alos que no suelen llegar otro tipo de ediciones, o la comodidad de transporte [...] Es, además, un libro multitemático, en el que tienen cabida tanto grandes clásicos de la literatura universal como títulos contemporáneos, con tiradas mediassuperiores a las de la edición tradicional de cara a su distribución masiva; y, finalmente, es un formato que permite alargar la vida del libro, al admitir segundas explotaciones de un título. 1, record 2, Spanish, - libro%20de%20bolsillo

L’expression «carte de golf» a la faveur des golfeurs tandis que «carte de parcours» tient de ce que le carton, en deux ou trois volets, donne les règlements locaux de même qu’une illustration de chacun des trous. Les expressions «carte de marquage» (de «marquer») et «carte de pointage» sont des canadianismes, alors que «carte des résultats», plus appropriée à désigner le carton une fois la partie terminée et le compte de points établi, est peu utilisée sauf dans les tournois où il faut remettre la carte à l’issue de la ronde. 1, record 6, French, - carte%20de%20golf
