ENGLISH - THE FUNNIEST LANGUAGE

Image
ENGLISH THE FUNNIEST LANGUAGE We will begin with BOX and the plural is BOXES But the plural of OX should be OXEN and not OXES. Then one fowl is GOOSE but two are GEESE Yet the plural of MOUSE should never be MEESE. You may find a lone MOUSE or a whole set of MICE But the plural of HOUSE is HOUSES not HICE. If the plural of MAN be always MEN Why shouldn’t the plural of PAN be PEN? If I speak of a FOOT and then you show me your FEET And I give you a BOOT, would a pair be called BEET? If one is TOOTH, and a whole set is TEETH Why should not the plural of BOOTH be BEETH? Then one may be THAT and three may be THOSE Yet HAT in the plural would never be HOSE And the plural of CAT is CATS not COSE. We speak of a BROTHER and also a BRETHREN But alothough we say MOTHER we never say MOTHREN. Then the masculine pronouns are HE, HIS and HIM But imagine the feminine SHE, SHIS and SHIM. So, English, I fancy, you will agree, is the FUNNIEST LANGUAGE you ever did see! - Leo Angela Rupert
