Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of the singular with it, from painters and sculptors to the recording acts a label signs. In compounds naming a knack rather than an art, the -s goes on the final word, giving con artists and escape artists. The old adjective use, meaning 'artistic', is archaic and never took an ending, so the -s form is always the noun.
