Things to Remember:
* Not all nouns that end in "-s" are singularia tantum. Many words ending in "-s" are simply plural nouns (e.g., cats, dogs, chairs).
* The meaning of the word determines whether it's singularia tantum. Even though "politics" is a singularia tantum, "politicians" is a plural noun.
