Sorry, english is not my native language
Not a worry, it was mostly said in jest 🤗🍻
What's the singular of dice, friend?
"What is the singular form of dice?
'Die' is the singular form of 'dice'. It comes from the French word des, a plural word for the same objects. In English, the most common way to make nouns plural is to add an 's'. If 'die' followed that rule precisely, its plural form would be 'dies', however, English is full of irregular plurals. Along with octopus, fish, goose, wolf, cactus, and appendix, "die" does not follow that rule implicitly. The plural form is 'dice'. If you roll dice, you are rolling two or more game pieces. If you roll a die, you are only using one piece."
It's really as simple as: which sounds correct? "Rolling a die" or "rolling a dice"? 🤷🏼♂️ Anti-intellectualism is no one's friend, friend.
It's dice.

It's dice and die. Both are correct depending on who you ask
