Correct, if referring to small cubes used in games of chance. Incorrect, if
referring to metal forming tools.

Sorry, Cass, but that's just the way it is in the English language. Mind
you, no one ever said that the English language was in any way logical.

Brian,

Dice is correct for the plural of die. I think that it can be expressed
either way but dice IS NOT incorrect.

Cass, I just looked it up in Websters College Dictionary. A die is
basically two different things - it's a device for forming, stamping,
cutting threads, drawing metal, which is your application. According
the
Websters, the plural of die in this instance is "dies".

A die is also the singular of "dice", which are "small cubes impressed
on
each side with one to six dots, used in gambling". That isn't what
you're
talking about.

Take it as you please, you can learn in many ways, all of the time.

Baker,

It seems to me that I asked very simple question for those who know
what
I
was talking about.

Dice is the plural of 'die'. The intelligent person would instantly
know
what one meant using either word.

That you chose to be the 'jerk' in this instance, is your problem.

You can keep whatever knowledge that you may have on the subject as I
don't
need your kind of help.

Fine - be a jerk then. Just don't expect any help if you can't
explain
what
you're banging on about.
