Not really, oriental. Many nouns in the English language don't require an "s" to make them denote more than one.

mice
moose
etc.

Quote:
Certain English nouns change a vowel sound when they become plural. These include goose, geese; man, men; mouse, mice; and tooth, teeth.

Some nouns don't change at all when they become plural. These include deer, fish, sheep, and species.
A few nouns have plural forms that are left from Old English. These include child, children and ox, oxen.
