natureblack: If "Twerking" could find its way to Oxford English Dictionary then I don't see any big deal to these ones. Buh get to think of it,English is kinda hard


we'll begin with box,the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox is oxen,not oxes
One fowl is goose,and two are called geese
Yet the plural of mouse is never called meese

You may find a lone mouse or a house full of mice;
but the plural of house is houses,not hice.
The plural of man is always men
But the plural of pan is never pen.

If I speak of a foot,and you show me two feet,
and I give you a book,would a pair be beek?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth
why shouldn't two booths be called beeth?

If the singular's this and the plural is these,
should the plural of kiss be ever called keese?

we speak of brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother,we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he,his and him
But imagine the feminine ...........she,shis and shim.

I tell you. My annoyance is that there are very many interesting threads people create everyday. They ignore them and constantly upload expired poo to the Front Page for reasons best known to them.

but the plural of brother is brothers not brethren. Brethren is another word on his own, which can include both brothers and sisters.
