    I am somewhat perplexed by this thread. There is a plural for both kilt and beer; that is, kilts and beers.

    1. I am wearing a kilt.
    2. I own three kilts.

    1. I will have a beer.
    2. I have had three beers.

    Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Simply adding an "s" to form the plural is incorrect in many cases.

    Technically, the word 'kilt' is both singular and plural, or it was when I was taught English.
