Weird realization: there are English words that feel like they should be plural, but are actually singular. For example, "hair", or "money".

Definitely not helped by the fact that both are properly grammatically plural in Russian

@grishka the word "hair" can be used in plural as well, one hair, two hairs. But indeed it is typically an uncountable noun with the singular form used.

I guess Russian doesn't have a singular form of "money". (I only saw the plural form.)
