"Is "Die" the singular of "Dice" ?"

I know that dice indicates 2 cubes each has 6 faces marked from 1 to 6, but can the word "Die" be considered as only one of these 2 cubes ?

"Look at all the Moose"
What? is this right?

"Look at all the Mooses" ...hmm, what a strange word.

It sounds like it could be used for both, like "sheep" for example. But the correct term is "die" for the singular and "dice" for plural.

Yeah, that's what I was given to understand. Although I believe the terms are now more or less interchangable.

Yes.

I thought Dice was one and Die was plural, ie, 2 or more.
