Dr. Seuss on English We’ll begin with a box and plural is boxes; But the plural of ox should be oxen not oxes. Then one fowl is a goose but two are called geese Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You might find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice; Yet the plural of house is houses, not hise. 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 I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be 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. So English, I fancy you will agree, Is the craziest language you ever did see.
Reasons why the English Language is so hard to learn: 1) The bandage was wound around the wound. 2) The farm was used to produce produce. 3) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 4) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 5) I did not object to the object. 6) They were too close to the door to close it. 7) The buck does funny things when the does are present. 8) The wind was too strong to wind the sail 9) After a number of injections my jaw got number. 10) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France (Surprise!). Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. Quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
