Why are pants (underpants if you're American) plural, & bras singular?
Why do we talk about a PAIR of pants, yet a SINGULAR bra? Surely a bra is the most plural of all our items of clothing, while your (under) pants are the most singular? We don't talk about a pair of shirts (two arms) or a pair of vests (two arm holes), yet we talk of a pair of pants (two leg holes). I just wish someone could explain this anomaly to me, please?
