The English language is amusingly odd isn't it ?

So we have a herd of cows and a pack of dogs but then along comes :
- a murder of crows
- a glaring of cats
- a kindle of kittens
- a gang of elk
- a business of flies
- a sloth of bears
- a pandemonium of parrots
- a conspiracy of ravens
- a lounge of lizards
- a memory of elephants
- a smack of jellyfish
- a parliament of owls
...and on it goes...

Lol...anyway...:-)

@approachingmyexpirationdate Thank goodness English is my home language. Otherwise it would probably drive me nuts.
It can be understood through tough thorough thought though. < Those 5 words written together like that would be a nightmare. 🙂
@Wraithorn ah the notorious homonyms.
