I love the works of Beethoven" means that I like his symphonies, his
string quartets, his concerti and sonatas, his choral pieces all very
countable things, works. "I hate work" means that I find the very idea of
labor, in a general way, quite unappealing. Notice that the plural form
means something quite different from the singular form of this word;
they're obviously related, but they're different. What is the relationship
betweenplastic and plastics, wood and woods, ice and
[Italian] ices, hair andhairs?
