English grammar usage

One can often tell when an Indonesian has written an article or advertisement in English, because of the inclusion of a suffix 's' to make some nouns plural.

It's a crazy language, but for the benefit of your readers and advertisers, the following nouns, for 99 percent of the time, never have an 's' on the end to make the noun plural: Accomodation, administration, ammunition, construction, equipment, erosion, furniture, information, infrastructure, jewelry, people, staff, traffic.
