Hi, Dallas Hinton!
I read your message from 27.12.2021 16:14
DH> We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes; but the plural
DH> of ox became oxen not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are
DH> called geese, yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
DH> You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice; yet the
DH> plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is
DH> always called men, why shouldn't the plural of pan be called
DH> pen? If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet, and I give you
DH> a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set
DH> are teeth, why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? Then one
DH> may be that, and three would be those, yet hat in the plural would
DH> never be hose, and the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a
DH> brother and also of brethren, but though we say mother, we never say
DH> methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, but imagine
DH> the feminine, she, shis and shim.
For English learners it should be something more positive. ;-)
Bye, Dallas!
