[[I

If one is a tooth and a whole set are
teeth, then why shouldn't booth in the plural
be beeth? If the plural of man is always
called men, why shouldn't the plural of pan
be called pen? You may find a lone mouse
or a whole nest of mice, but more than one
house is most surely not hice. A cow in the
plural is properly kine, but a bow if repeated[/SIZE]
is never called bine.Then one may be that
and two would be those, yet hat in the plural
would never be hose. We speak of a
brother and also a brethern, but though we
say mother, we never say methern. The
masculine pronouns are he, his, and him,
but imagine a feminine she, shis, and shim!
So English, I fancy you all will agree, is the
funniest language you ever did see.
