singular verb[edit]

As a term used in sports (e.g., wrestling, gymnastics), scissors always takes a singular verb <the scissors is a classic wrestling move>

Number contrast[edit]

Number contrast for gloves, pyjamas, scissors, etc., can only be made by using them with pair: thus a pair of binoculars = one object, and two pairs of binoculars (not two binoculars) = two objects. --Backinstadiums (talk) 21:46, 22 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
