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.

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

Sometimes it all feels purposefully confusing
LordShadowfire 路 100+, M
@UndercoverBard 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.

MadraLaska 路 31-35, F
