3. Students have a hard enough time learning our course content…… Now imagine if they were learning English at the same time….. Gale Klotsko, August 2011 CTE Conference Workshop

4. Why English is Hard to Learn (Author Unknown) We’ll begin with BOX, the plural is BOXES— But the plural of OX is never OXES. One fowl is a GOOSE, and two are called GEESE; Yet the plural of MOOSE is not MEESE. You may find a lone MOUSE or a nest of MICE, But the plural of HOUSE is HOUSES, not HICE. If the plural of MAN is always MEN, Why shouldn’t the plural of PAN be called PEN? If I speak of a FOOT and you show me two FEET, And I give you a BOOT— would a pair be called BEET? If one is a TOOTH and a whole set are called TEETH, Why shouldn’t the plural of BOOTH be BEETH? If the singular is THIS and the plural is THESE, Then the plural of KISS surely should be KEESE. We speak of a BROTHER and also of BRETHREN; But though we say MOTHER, we never say METHREN. The masculine pronouns are HE, HIS and HIM; But imagine the feminine: SHE, SHIS and SHIM!
