No one has ever used the Italian singular of that word in English. As a loan word, it does not have to follow Italian grammar rules, and similar to pasta, it can be used both as countable and uncountable (i.e. a generic category term without plural).

But the singular was never used in the tweet.

I hate to break it to you, but calamari IS the plural.

Understanding that everyone else is also human is really just the ground floor of empathy. You can go so much further than that.

I’m not sure it would look nicer, but at least it’d be more honest.

Great idea! Here, I’ll start:

People need to understand that there is a difference between empathy and sympathy, and the former does not imply the latter. Empathy simply means understanding where a person is coming from (i.e. their motives), it does not require that you agree with them.

Is that code for getting an STD or just some sort of silly roleplay?
