...that has no opposite? I mean like numbers, vampires and letters. They have no opposites. What can I label them?

yeah they are. But is there no word like opposite, but it means you have no opposite.

i thought singular meant there was only one, as in an antonym to plural?

(numbers have opposites! 6 is the opposite of -6 for example...)
well, why would you give such a thing a name : )
and it's not even clear what the opposite of something is. you could say the opposite of man is woman but you could also say that the opposite of man is machine or that the opposite of man is nam or that the opposite of man is "not man" etc...

I'd say things have one opposite, but words can mean different things...
yeah a positive number is the opposite of a negative number (except for 0 and -0 [or am I wrong?])...

infinity isnt zero, because a value is considered defined (meaning it exists) if its zero, but if its infinity, its not defined, because infinity is just any reaaallly big number. the oposite of infinity is negative infinitey (huge numbers, but theyre negative, thus reaalllllyyyy small)

the opposite of 'infinity' is 'quantifiable' perhaps?
