  • Hmm.  Normally I'd go with things like 'mud' or 'love', but I don't think they qualify exactly.

    I'll go for 'Help' I think.  And 'Chess'.  And 'Dust'.

    Hmmmmm.

    While difficult to do cleanly, the former can be pluralized just like the word "deer". I saw seven deer a two moose at the lake over the past summer.

    The word fish IS plural: there are a lot of fish in the pond.

    Not so; there is a lot of rice in the pantry (it's not one rice).

    I'll give you ice, good answer.

    It's a bit confusing because mooses doesn't sound right.

    There's no need to be vulgar, and adding an s or es at the end of an English word is not the only way to pluralize it, which is part of the purpose I posted this question.

    Oh, and by the way, if you kept your mother off the streets . . .

    It's not rigged, really it isn't! Many people assume or assumed that I meant adding an s or es at the end of a word in order to pluralize it, but it's not my fault if they made that mistake!

  • Yes, I agree. I was wrong to treat you that way, yet I still dislike you with a great intensity.

  • This just proves grammar autistics will argue with each other while people with real intelligence and imagination create new things instead of just focusing on archaic rules.
