Some nouns have confusing singular or plural forms, for example, aeronautics, sing. equipment, sing. apparatus, sing. hardware, sing. apparatuses, pl. phenomena, pl. data, pl. 1 criteria, pl. Consult the dictionary or a usage book when there is a question concerning the number of a particular noun.
