#### Usage notes

Modern usage is likely to be regarded as an error or indicative of nonstandard speech. The standard (irregular) plural is deer.
Occasionally used in the sense of more than one species, especially when appearing in combination (such as red deer / red deers). This usage is concordant with plural forms such as fish / fishes.
