Today was such a breeze~
'Cause I got to study for English! =]
And while flipping through my English file, I saw something!
Guess what it is!
-----
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
But the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse of a nest full of mice;
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
And if I gave you a boot, would a pair be beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that and three would 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 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 know it's obvious.
And you all will remember the "jackass who left you all hanging there".
[PS Mr (
click here), they said that, not me. (No pun intended also, just to quote them.)]
How crude can you people be.
Uncivilised and stuff.
Actually this is what a "jackass" looks like :
Cute, right?
In case I become Confucius, that is a jackass penguin (also known as an African penguin).
Seriously, there's such a penguin.
