    If mouse -> mice
    Then house -> hide?

    or

    Goose -> geese
    Then moose -> Mercedes?

    Not exactly true. My next door neighbor who is a beer distributor explained this to me. If you drink 12 Buds you've dfrank 12 beer. If you drink 12 different labels of beer you've had 12 beers. If I drink 12 beer (or beers for that matter) I'm just plain f*cked up.

    What about spelling?

    Think about teaching a kid how to spell. You gotta figure that by the time you are going to do that, they know how to count to 10,so you want to teach them how to spell those numbers.

    Let's start with 1.

    W-U-N...... No, it's O-N-E... But that spells "oh-nee"... No, that's how you spell 1. Why? It just is. .... Okay.

    Now 2.

    T-O. ... No, it's T-W-O. Why does it have 1's W??? It just does.

    Things smooth out a little bit from there.... Until you get to 8... At which point the kid says TO HELL WITH THIS!!!

    Honestly, we should be all for pointing out the absurdities of the English language.

    ....but coming from a French guy??!!!


    It's like Russians calling Ukraine a corrupt country, it's true ...but Geesh! :D

    It’s simple physics. Rotation, friction, velocity and force all combining to affect the trajectory of a ball across a felt table.

    Text...past tense is NOT "Texted"...it is still T E X T.... same people who say "I texted her" say "My Hot Water Heater broke"...or "ATM Machine" "VIN Number".
