I want to create a playlist of short sketches and crosstalk (a traditional Chinese comedic performance in the form of a dialogue) on my blog, and the title is "Sketches & Crosstalk."
My question is: Can I use the singular form of "crosstalk" here? Or do I have to change it to the plural?
On Oxford dictionary, I see the word "crosstalk" is a mass noun, but on another dictionary, I find it is a countable noun, so I'm confused.
Your Dictionary: A traditional Chinese comedic performance in the form of a dialogue.
