Note
Only the countable uses of the noun take an -s. One covers people who hold traditional beliefs. The other covers things that are traditional or standard, and that use is normally plural, so a set of traditionals comes more easily than a single traditional. The clipped informal uses (traditional Chinese, traditional art, the traditional grip) are uncountable and have no plural.
