    An article can use a word's singular or plural form or both forms, hence the need for dual form "word(s)". For example, most video game articles often use the singular form "player" to refer all players, even though the games may be multiplayer, online or offline. — CrafterNova [ TALK ] 11:36, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
