When we come out of the Covid-19 crisis, we need to make sure recovery efforts address the Climate Crisis (which can't be solved using social distancing!)

I'll accept sassiness. It's in a few dictionaries. A recent usage example is from a TV review in the Globe and Mail:

Quote
There is Gaby (Jessica Williams), whose sassiness only slightly masks the turmoil she’s going through in her own marriage...

But I don't buy the plural. I see sassiness as an uncountable noun, and I can't imagine how you would use sassinesses.
