I was just wondering why do we call them Forks and not Fork?

ED209 · « **Reply #1 on:** July 28, 2011, 03:16 PM »

But if it was 1, it wouldn't be a fork.

What about a garden fork or a fork you eat with, they have 3?

ED209 · « **Reply #3 on:** July 28, 2011, 03:21 PM »

well ... I was being obvious and my research ( I bing'd it ) says we should call them 'fork'

But sheep is always sheep. The word Fork seems to have acquired and s when referring to a bike and nothing else, that's what I am puzzled about.

And what do you call those "mono leg forks", are they a fork, singular, or are they still forkS ... but with one leg

mattuknc · « **Reply #9 on:** July 28, 2011, 04:38 PM »

If you ask someone for help on dismantling your bike and they say "Fork off" it's completely different if they say "Forks off".

If we were all working down the pit, this question would be of less interest.
