Moose, fish, deer.

Plural and singular all at the same time. They're hermaphroditic words.

Moose is the plural.
Deer is the plural of deer.
Sheep is the plural of sheep.

The difference is, though few people know this, is the use of the words A and the.
If a sentence reads,
"A moose was in the woods"
it is talking about one (also notice the verb)
If a sentence reads,
"The moose were in the woods"
it is talking about multiple moose (also notice the verb).
So, to discern which is being used, you must look at these concepts.

I think it's OMG.

For example:

OMG, that there's a lot Moose.

[Nordic Viking]

The universal notation of referring to multiple moose (as per UN Directive 1956-0912a) is moose +n where n is the amount of moose minus the original moose.

moose
moose +1
moose +2
moose +3
etc.

 

[Lycosa]

MOose = one moose.
MOOse = two, or more, moose.

 

[mete]

Calling them is like this - 'here moosie, here moose moose.' But that's for one , plural is meese , ask any Mainiac.
