Trousers, pants, overalls, minutes (as the record of a discussion), agenda (technically this has a singular form, "agendum", but I haven't heard or seen that in decades.) There are also many collective nouns that are usually considered singular in grammar and meaning in the United States but often treated as plurals in England: government, company, firm, etc. The term "United States" itself was often treated as plural before the Civil War but is now almost universally treated as singular.
