chinese tableware 可不可以加‘s’

不用
tableware, silverware

hardware
software

等都是創造字而成的collective noun...即任何情況下都不會加s.

chinese tableware 可不可以加‘s’ ？！
NO!

Used in the singular, a collective noun of tableware can take a singular meaning such as "family "or "team" that refers to a group of things on the table;eg:-coffee table, dressing table, negotiating table, round table, tea table,
Table-ware is the plates, glasses, knives,forks, spoons, chopsticks etc. when eating a meal. Chinese table-ware if Chinese meal.

Jenkin 說得很對～

很多人不知道 software 是不應加上 s 的。

但如果經常用 pieces of software也很怪。
