    Maybe in the original British English it’s not, but in American English, ant is plural

      No it isn’t. Ants is the plural for a single ant in the English language flat out. In no region does the word ‘ant’ fall under the Singular Plural rules.

        Well maybe I was referring to deer, and not ants. Humor is dead.
