For those who pay attention to such things, it may be of interest that
while I suspect that  "singularity" itself in English is a
grammatically neuter word, in Italian, Latin, French, Spanish,
Portugues, Catalan and German (that is, as long as you translate it
with "Singularität") is definitely feminine.

This of course is very eloquent as to the specific ideological and
psychological traits of Anglo-Saxon singularitarians, as opposed to
the their continental brethren.

...

Or simply as to the different way languages deal with substantivitaing
suffixes. ;-D
