>1 is a singular number
>has a specific way to write the object being counted
>i.e. 1 tree
>every other number is plural
>changes "tree" to "trees"
>this happens with 0
>therefore, 0 is plural despite being less than 1
>>
0 being plural makes as much sense as 1 not being a prime
it is arbitrary and gay
>>
>>16374524
Also you have 0.5 trees not 0.5 tree. Think about why this is true and maybe you learn something
>>
>>16374638
I have exactly one half of a tree, bitch.
>>
>>16374694
>I have exactly 1/2 of 1 tree
>1 tree
Oooh sorry hold this L
>>
>>16374694
Yea and I have no tree, so OP is wrong since that didn't have to be plural despite being a reference to 0 amount of tree.
>>
>>16375675
I would say, "I have no trees" personally
although I wonder how he would pronounce "I have 0.5 trees"
>>
>>16374524
would it be -1 tree or trees?
>>
>>16374698
>>16374694
hole destroyed, one half anon based and redpilled
0.5 trees because point five - trees its right assosiative not left
0.11 trees -> 11 trees
0.01 point zero one tree
>>
>>16374524
today on sci: we attribute meaning to arbitrary rules characteristic of the English language.
>>
Op likes sucking on trunks
>>
>>16375863
negative one tree
negative one point zero zero zero ... trees
>>
>>16375961
Wrong, point zero one trees.
>>
>>16378676
This is an English website, maybe you'd be happier on 4retards.foreign.org
>>
>>16380170
I'd say negative one trees myself...
>>
>>16382772
I would call a negative tree just a hole in the ground myself.

What's P?
What's 9?
>>
You're not much of a reductionalist are you OP?
>>
OPs thinking of 9 1s, not 9 purely. It's not only a plural.
>>
>>16382962
You can express things like Kelly's Love, Kelly's Greed, Kelly's Want, on a basic universe map made of square sectors in pattern. You can express 9 using 1s. It literally bares resemblance to 9, but to only accept 9 in this format is one-ist stupidity.

>>16382921
Which Taylor Swift album is this?
>>
>>16374524
Well I mean, technically 0 trees can be written as "no tree" which obviously is singular.
