my old english teacher told me that pants refers to multiple "pairs" of pants not a single "pair" we simply call them pair of pants because it has two legs but it's actually ONE item. therefore making it plural is wrong.

can't remember where she looked it up at.

it's basically a slang term that became the norm and the real word became the slang term.

One of my best friends majored in linguistics. She teaches English as a Second Language to adults and children now.

Three of my friends interests are philosophy, foreign languages and the victorian fascination with death. confused High schoolers can be weird.

Ok, I can figure out careers for the first two, but what could you even do with the last one? History teacher?
