Thread Name: BS: Pluralism?
Subject: BS: Pluralism?
Whilst doing some song research, I came across the word 'molasses'
Knew was connected to sugar but checked out definition.
Although it's a singular noun, it sounds like a plural.
There's other terms like this, where you'd think there'd be more than one of whatever it was, yet only one item's being described, as in trousers [pants], secateurs, scissors
Any more?
