Fact: the plural of “Beef” is actually “Beeves”. Along with 4 other words I bet you are using incorrectly.

Today I learned beeves is the plural of beef. Is anyone else mindblown? Thanks imgur.

So that got me thinking, what other weird plural nouns are there that I never use? Turns out ALL of these words below:

  • schemata is the plural of schema
  • data is the plural of datum
  • opera is the plural of opum
  • culs de sac is the plural of cul de sac

Know any others?
