    a group noun, like "money" or "slime".

    Nope. Those are mass nouns. Perhaps you meant collective nouns? Not that either. A collective noun is like a platoon (made of soldiers) or a flock (made of sheep).

    Maybe this is why "27 people" makes sense, but "31 money" or "4 slime" don't.

    I don't know what your definition of "basic standard rules" is, but you can always cherry-pick a subset of rules and claim that reality doesn't obey them. Fact is, French spelling has a fuckton of rules but generally follows them. English has quite a lot of rules but the complexity comes from frequently breaking most of them. Italian and German are a doddle by comparison.
