      Using “dice” as a singular noun dates back the 1400s. I think it’s been in circulation long enough to be commonly accepted by now.

        And if I say “die” in regards to a single object and “dice” for plural, you and everyone else still understands what I’m talking about. Isn’t language neat?

          Yeah? That’s what I said above - either can correctly be used. Not sure what point you’re trying to make here.

      “Literally” no longer means just “literally”, but also “figuratively”. Otherwise known as the opposite of the original definition.
