comment 0, -1 et les nombres decimaux sont-ils singuliers ou pluriels ?
I'm aware it's not normally used for objects. I think that's something out of discussion and you can assume I know things like this. But let's say I still want to use it in some cases, like when reporting data... For example: due to a lack of founding, we can't buy anymore planes, and actually we have a decrease. So, in a table summarizing that data, I want to write "-45 airplanes". Not everyday usage, I'd choose other expressions, but legit.

First you state it makes no sense, and then you talk about "-2,5 degrees" and "-4 votes"... that sounds like a contradiction. You can face situations where you talk about "-X of something", apparently.

Et à propos des nombres decimaux comme -4,56 / 0,2 / 1,24 ?

@Evpok Argh! Right... decimaux! :D Anyway, good, I thought it would be interesting to see the French situation. :)
