I just realised as I did the Person, place, animal, thing game that there is no plural for sheep.

Are there any others out there anyone can think of?

It's really bugging me! Ha (need to get out more)

Fish.

 

[arealhuman]

There is a plural for fish - fishes!

How about deer?

 

[Sezzy]

I think deer are deers?
How about Moose?

How about Moose?

Meece, obviously

Some of these have two acceptable plurals: so fish or fishes (though the latter is usually used to refer to different types of fish) and deer or deers. Impala/impalas is another one, and antelope/antelopes. You can use buffalo or buffaloes, but not, apparently, bisons.

Well, I'm reminded that the plural of sheep when my son was a toddler is sheepses. So now you all know

Ah from now on I shall use this @arealhuman !
