Sunday Quote

I got this book- Painless Grammer -for the fact of writing better. Though I haven't been writing since I've been sick and busy, blah blah blah. In this book though they have some Just For Fun sections. This is the first one.
If this is right- one goose, two geese
Then why shouldn't we say- one moose, two meese
One of my favorite~
If this is right- one die, two dice
Then why shouldn't we say- one pie, two pice and one lie two lice.
Another favorite~
If this is right- one mouse, two mice
Then why shouldn't we say- one spouse, two spice
If this is right- one cherub, two cherubim
Then shy shouldn't we say- one bathtub, two bathtubim
If this is right- one foot, two feet
Then why shouldn't we say- one root, two reet and one boot, two beet
If this is right- one man, two men
Then shouldn't we say- one pan, two pen and one fan, two fen and one can, two cen
If this is right- one tooth, two teeth
Then shouldn't we say- one telephone booth, two telephone beeth
The American language is soooo confusing. No wonder Spanish speakers prefer their language. LOL Heck! I wish I could do sign language have the time but no one would get it in my family!
