Examples

“"There are three numbers; the singular, the dual, and the plural. [...] The dual is sometimes used to denote two objects, but even here the plural is more common."”

“The plural of 'cat' is 'cats', but the plural of 'child' is 'children'.”

“Malay is the lingua franca of several Southeast Asia countries and has been simplified by its use⟳ as a second language by non-native speakers. For example, the Malay plural is formed by repeating a word twice – buku means book and buku-buku means books.”

“Singlet and monocultural identity is so normalized that many voice hearers and plurals don’t share⟳ their experiences with anyone, living in isolation (and sometimes in poverty) and spending considerable inner resources to manage⟳ postures and performances of ‘mental health’.”

“More strongly, respect⟳ might require⟳ that singlets themselves accept⟳, in the context of interacting with plurals, that people are truly distinct people.”

“Autistics, plurals, and gender nonconforming individuals are all stigmatized as not being capable of understanding their own⟳ experiences and are repeatedly attacked with narratives intended to make⟳ them doubt⟳ their own⟳ emotions, memories, and sense⟳ of self.”
