I thought this was common knowledge.
To native English speakers, yes. To non-native speakers, this is yet another bizarre rule they just have to memorize.
Hey, did you know your profile is set to appear as a bot and as a result many may be filtering your posts and comments? You can change this in your Lemmy settings.
Or they could just ignore it because the point of language rules is to communicate unambiguously and the meaning of "deers" is pretty clear while "deer" is ambiguous.
Common knowledge doesn't mean people use it. It's easy to forget even if you studied about it in school.
For example you is singular and plural. But we rarely use you for multiple people nowadays, we just go "you guys", "you all", "all of you", or something else to disambiguate.
Languages move towards easy communication and simplicity.
