  We discuss that the singularities appearing in Dirac's formulation of
magnetic monopoles are due to the set of fields which he used and not due to
the physical properties of magnetic monopoles. We explain in detail that we can
find the same algebraic expressions and singularities for the affine
connections on the sphere $S^2$, which Dirac found for the U(1) gauge field of
magnetic monopoles. Since spheres have no singularities, it is obvious, that
these singularities are due to the set of fields which are used to describe the
geometry of $S^2$. As there are descriptions of the geometry of spheres without
any singularities, we indicate that it would be preferable to use singularity
free descriptions of magnetic and also electric monopoles.
