That's tough going through that so thoroughly throughout time. I've never thought or been taught about it though.

English is my 2nd language, and I never had an issue with those words, strangely. Guess I just have lots of smart in my brain box

@BarbossasHusband I have a question. If the plural of goose is geese, why isn't the plural of moose meese?
BarbossasHusband · 36-40, M
@LordShadowfire because of the origin of the word

The English language is a mass of contradictions. None of the rules make sense. I feel bad for anybody that has to learn it as a second language.

@SW-User Is so many words is the same is weird like this, and for me is 3rd language!

@MadraLaska If it's your third, then you must be really smart, motivated or dedicated. Probably all three. You'll be speaking like a native in no time.

@MadraLaska My hat is off to you. I learned Spanish in college, and it's so much simpler than English, I can't imagine what it's like learning English second, let alone third.

Sometimes it all feels purposefully confusing
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@ShepherdBard I'll tell you exactly why that is. The language we so glibly refer to as English is a bastardized amalgamation of literally dozens of languages. Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Yiddish, Tagalog, Japanese, Mandarin, etc., with a smattering of actual English for flavor.

what's an equivalent in Polish?
MadraLaska · 31-35, F
@plankter979 I dont know that there is this kind of thing! I think Polish is simpler language!

That reminds me of something Dr. Seuss wrote in his early days:
The tough coughs as he ploughs the dough.
It doesn't rhyme. None of it rhymes. But it looks like it should.
