35 People Who ‘Can’t Even’ The English Language

yeah, you just gotta remember the entirety of the english grammatical rules, what tense it is, and how to talk. then you say it out loud!

And out loud.

I had had to read it a couple times

I second that. 😆

You'll have to explain that one.

It is a grammatically correct sentence.

All the good faith that I once had bore no effect on that sentence.

The good faith sentence is still a poorly constructed sentence and should have been scrapped and started again... bar for the fun aspect.

Let's start a petition. Meese sounds excellent.

I know the actual answer to that if you'd like to hear... because the moose animal is in North America. The English didn't know that animal existed until relatively recently (at least not when they were making up their language.) The word native word moose wasn't English origin (duh) so in the native language, they didn't use such a silly plural like geese. Hope that makes sense.

Modern English is derived primarily from a fusion of Anglo-Saxon (old English) and Danish the language of the settler Vikings who occupied half of England prior to the Norman conquest in 1066. So English grammar reflects both it's West Germanic and North Germanic (Scandinavian) origins hence the simplification of its grammar and the many quirks that the language exhibits. For example the singular and plural for Goose and Geese in Danish/Norwegian is Gås and Gaes/Gjess pronounced literally the same way in both English and Danish. .in German and Dutch both West Germanic languages like English it is Gans/Gansen. Most proper English words (not French or Latin loanwords) are either west Germanic or Scandinavian north Germanic in origin and this partly accounts for the many irregularities in the language. English is classified as a west Germanic tongue but its entire grammatical structure and syntax pattern is Scandinavian as is much of its Germanic vocabulary and how we coin words.

In Yiddish, meese means really ugly. Hehehehe...

what about shoop and sheep

Mouse - mice, but not house - hice

One house many hice. I will die on this hill.

And the plural for cheese would be?

Mongeese

if mouse is mice, and goose is geese, is moose meece or mooses? (tongue twister my mom taught me)

Most know that meese is the plural form of mouse. (Kidding)

ALL HAIL THE MEESE

No one believes me when I say the singular of dice is die.

AND if the plural of mouse is mice, shouldn't the plural of spouse be spice?

Isn't it?

or is a cheese plural of choose? :-D

What is the actual plural of moose?

' I hate meeses topieces .. ' ;o)

Exactly that's what I questioned my English teacher in Elementary school 30yrs ago when I lived in New Manchester, West Virginia. I asked, "If goose is just 1 bird shouldn't it just be gooses for 2 or more?" Then I questioned her (my English Teacher) , "And teacher if word moose just stands for 1 animal, how can the same word moose mean more than 1 animal, it should be mooses then too shouldn't it?" As an American English Language is still like wtf are you saying? Crazy our English can be, and is wacky at times🤪🤪👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🇺🇸🇯🇵🌏🗻🗾

Why do we have noses that run and feet that smell?

i ask myself this everyone day

You might have already been told this but "Moose" comes from native American languages, and therefore doesn't need to be conjugated in the same way as English words are

Mouse is too mice as house is to hice?

i had to restrain myself from saying "meese" when i was explaining something to my brother about meese.

Moose is a borrowed word from the Algonquian languages so it doesn't play by the same rules as native English or Indo-European words.

No because THAT'S the plural of Mice😁

My favorite person is the world asks this question. ❤

I've seen some obese geese but never obese meese--which is still better than seeing some mouses in people's houses.

No, they're of different origins.

The classic

Sheep, shoop

YEEEEEE

It's just so much easier to learn a language that doesn't have arbitrary rules based on the historical origins of a word. But the history lesson is very interesting.

Yeah, false cognates mess people up 100% of the time.

No, Inspector Clouseau, there is noot!

Did Ho meowered the yard?
