    Even as a lefty, I could never figure out left-handed scissors. ::bows head in shame::

      Because they're made of suck.

      As a rightie I'm lurking here and Gathering Information.

      I'm not good at using scissors either

    I often argue on whether scissors should be referred to as scissors or a "pair of scissors"

    • fluffywhitethingAug 13, 2016 at 11:57 AMΔ

      Is it jeans or a pair of jeans?

      • EddiAug 13, 2016 at 12:03 PMΔ

        I don't know! And it's killing me!

        Quickly digging into grammar usage books and forums and take everything I say with a grain of salt.

        For scissors: both pair of scissors and scissors. You may want to use pair of scissors when you want to remove ambiguity over singular and plural. Do not use the singular scissor as a noun.

        So if you're in a room full of scissors:

        Hand me a scissors.

        Is acceptable but ambiguous.

        Hand me a pair of scissors.

        Is less ambiguous. (Also, IMO less grating.)

        In gymnastics and wrestling, there are moves called "scissors" and those are always singular.
