>>Thanks, Hilmar. I don't know, why I was so confused today. Ok, it would be quite interesting to find similar words in English, where the single and plural forms are the same. And also if the word is in plural, but used as a single.

>>What are your examples?
>
>Sheep
>Hair
>Pair [an "odd" one at that, although pairs is an accepted plural as well]
>[Eye] Glasses
>Pants
>Scissors
>Fish

>Then you have phrases like:
>
>a pair of scissors/pants/eye glasses, 2 pair of scissors/pants/eye glasses
Interesting, thanks. One more word - data. Used as a single, though the real single form is datum.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
