untitled[edit]

Language "varies," the truth, not, as of understanding, the feeling(s), of our "selves," that.

plural[edit]

Is this really plural? I use it as a singular, and I don't use it in the sense of the example that's plural, rather "political views". DAVilla 19:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merriam-Webster states: noun plural but singular or plural in construction. The article should be amended to reflect this. It would e.g. be correct to say "no such politics has yet been implemented" (instead of have). __meco 07:26, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am convinced that this is not merely a plural word; it must be a plurale tantum or in some other fashion uncountable. Cellomilk91 16:38, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not plurale tantum, but uncountable. Construed as singular, it is like physics or mathematics. —Stephen 17:44, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
