0 being plural makes as much sense as 1 not being a prime
it is arbitrary and gay

Also you have 0.5 trees not 0.5 tree. Think about why this is true and maybe you learn something

Yea and I have no tree, so OP is wrong since that didn't have to be plural despite being a reference to 0 amount of tree.

I would say, "I have no trees" personally
although I wonder how he would pronounce "I have 0.5 trees"

I'd say negative one trees myself...

I would call a negative tree just a hole in the ground myself.

You're not much of a reductionalist are you OP?

OPs thinking of 9 1s, not 9 purely. It's not only a plural.

You can express things like Kelly's Love, Kelly's Greed, Kelly's Want, on a basic universe map made of square sectors in pattern. You can express 9 using 1s. It literally bares resemblance to 9, but to only accept 9 in this format is one-ist stupidity.

Well I mean, technically 0 trees can be written as "no tree" which obviously is singular.
