== Plurals ==

Don't be too eager to say there's no plural. Most nouns do have plural senses. [[care|cares]] for example is unexceptional in expressions like "having no cares of their own." [[ice|Ices]] is a Britishism: "the serving of tea and ices at small tables". It's actually rare for there to be no plural form.--[[User:Brett|Brett]] 03:00, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

:It seems to me that in the example above the phrase as a whole ("tea and ice") is being treated as single word and pluralized, rather than "ice" ''per se''.  Though I might be willing to accept "ices" as a word for kinds of ice :/ --[[User:BlackJar72|Jared]] 18:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

::No, ''ices'' are frozen fruit juice deserts such as popsicles.--[[User:Brett|Brett]] 19:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
