Question #81: keys

Why do people say "car keys" instead of car key? There is only one for the car...

  1. i either ask for the car key, or the keys because my dad has a giant key chain with lotsa key thingis on it...so i have no idea

  2. Because the keyholder with the car key has several keys on it ususally, so people put in the plural form just because they think of all the keys along with the car key.
