"Dice" is traditionally plural (one die, two dice). Nowadays it can also be singular, but "die" is clearer. "Dices" is simply not a thing.

I would argue "roll a die" is the correct language for this physical simulation, whereas "draw a number from 1 to 6" is more appropriate for a computational simulation. "draw a die" just seems weird. |

Minor change to DataFrame.plot.hist documentation: "Dice" is traditionally plural (one die, two dice). Nowadays it can also be singular, but "die" is clearer. "Dices" is simply not a thing.
