LANGUAGE
I did forget to mention in this language thing of tolerance and
INtolerance.
I’m going to e-mail the Queen (no NOT you Iris) and ask her to
change her English to a more easier language.
If the plural of mouse is mice then the plural of house should be
hice.
If the plural of goose is geese then it should be one moose, two
meece.
Why can I say “that’s a cool babe” and “look at that hot number”
and it means exactly the SAME thing?
I can name quite a few of these examples to Her Majesty, wonder
what her reaction will be?…”we are not amused…” :-))
