til: english is stupid

was in the middle of complaining, and trying to figure out how to use the word 'sheep' in plural form. apparently, there is none. sheep can be use as a singular or plural. just like swine and deer.

so, in a nutshell: goose is geese but moose isn't meese. drop the y to add ies like fry to fries but moneys is apparently acceptable along with monies. however, honies isn't. if there's an x then add es for box to boxes, and drop the f for ves with leaf to leaves. yet swine, deer, and sheep remains the same...but pines, peers, and creeps have s.

ok, English. whatever tickle your pickle
