JEWELRIES??

When I'm in high school, I saw the word jewelries in one of the articles in our English book. I remembered what our English professor had discussed in the class. Jewelry does not have plural form. Instead, it is always used in singular form only. I doubt because there are still many writings that use the incorrect plural form of jewelry.

Instead, it is only used in singular form.

Jewelry does not have plural form; instead, it is only used in singular form.

->the word INSTEAD is a conjunctive adverb that is why it can join two clauses together.

Oh,come on, people. Did you really not notice the tense error here?

"the word "jewelries" (ENCLOSE IN QUOTATION MARKS) in AN ARTICLE in our English book."

"I remembered) what our English professor had discussed (OMIT "THE")in class. "Jewelry"(ENCLOSE IN QUOTATION MARKS) does not have A plural form."

REMOVE THIS ENTIRE SENTENCE: Instead, it is always used in singular form only. REDUNDANT

"I doubt because" WHAT DO YOU DOUBT?

"there are still many writings (CHANGE TO "MANY PEOPLE STILL USE..."

"the incorrect plural form of jewelry." IN THE FIRST PLACE, "JEWELRY" DOES NOT HAVE A PLURAL FORM; THEREFORE IT CANNOT HAVE AN "INCORRECT PLURAL FORM".

REVISED: Many people still pluralize "jewelry".

By the way, my apologies. The words jewelries and jewelry should be italicized just as Mark wrote them, not enclosed in quotation marks.
