Default Re: articles with such and rather

There are a few more where that happens, particularly with herd animals - deer, sheep, buffalo, zebra, antilope..... Sometimes with an alternative plural (buffaloes, zebras), sometimes not (deer, sheep). It's not a "rule" however, as eg cow/cows, horse/horses are quite "regular".
