Oh, This Thing About English On Nairaland, Me I Don Tire!! Take A Look At This.. by visitmazech: 6:54pm On Oct 02, 2015 |
ENG 101 The thing about English. I am tired!!! Ok, let us begin with the word BOX; the plural is BOXES. But the plural of OX IS OXEN, not OXES, why One fowl is GOOSE, and two are called GEESE, Yet the plural of MOOSE is never MEESE. Why We speak of MOUSE, or a house full of MICE. But two 'HOUSE' is called HOUSES, not HICE, why The plural of MAN is always MEN, but the plural of PAN is never PEN. Why? If I speak of FOOT, and you show me two FEET, if I give you a BOOK, would the pair be BEEK?? If one is TOOTH, and a whole set is TEETH, why shouldn’t two BOOTHS be called BEETHS? If the singular is ‘THIS’, and the plural - ‘THESE’. Shouldn't the plural of KISS be KEESE? We speak of a BROTHER and also of BRETHREN. Though we say MOTHER, we never say METHREN. Why Then the masculine pronouns are: HE, HIS, and HIM. In this same pattern, why don’t we say: SHE, SHIS, SHIM If the singular is SHEEP and the plural remains SHEEP, why doesn't the plural of PEEP remain PEEP instead of PEEPS or SHIP remains SHIP instead of SHIPS?? If the plural of PHOTO is PHOTOS and the plural of ZERO is ZEROS, why should I add “e” to the plural of POTATO to become POTATOES, and HERO – HEROES I beg my people. Me, I don tire! ….Let's start using a different language on Nairaland! Make suggestions - Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, or Now, here is the main gist for the day. See what just happened that caused a big problem to this man because of language and other things. It can't fit here if I type. It's very funny!

funny yet English still is one of the if not the simplest language you can learn. I've tried french,latin and Spanish and they've got too many rules plus exceptions. |
