All right Sir. Calling a lady "Sir" is okay. I was saving this for the Grammar Thread but as long as it's for a good cause, then >> >>We'll begin with box, >>: The plural is boxes, >>: But the plural of ox, >>: Should be oxen, not oxes. >> >>: One fowl is a goose, >>: And two are called geese, >>: But the plural of mouse, >>: Should never be meese. >> >>: You may find a lone mouse, >>: Or a whole nest of mice, >>: But the plural of house, >>: Is houses, not hice. >> >>: If the plural of man, >>: Is always called men, >>: Why shouldn't the plural, >>: Of pan be called pen? >> >>: Cows in the plural, >>: May be called cows or kine, >>: But a bow, if repeated, >>: Is never called bine, >>: And the plural of vow, >>: Is vows, never vine. >> >>: If I speak of a foot, >>: You show me two feet, >>: But if I give you a boot, >>: Would a pair be two beet? >> >>: If one is a tooth, >>: And a whole set are teeth, >>: Why shouldn't the plural, >>: Of booth be called beeth? >> >>: If a singular's this, >>: And the plural is these, >>: Should the plural of kiss, >>: Ever be keese? >> >>: And the one may be that, >>: And the two may be those, >>: Yet hat in the plural, >>: Would never be hose, >>: And the plural of cat, >>: Is cats and not cose. >> >>: We speak of brother, >>: And also of brethren, >>: But the way we say mother, >>: We never say methren. >> >>: Then the masculine pronouns, >>: Are he, his and him, >>: But are the feminine, >>: She, shis and shim? >> >>: So English, I think, >>: You will agree, >>: Is the funniest language, >>: You ever did see. >> >>: Author unknown >> >>Is the plural of spouse "spice?" >> >>

Did I win? But of course. 1. Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds? 2. Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways? 3. Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii? 4. Why are panties plural and brassiere singular? 5. Why do your noses run and our feet smell? 6. Why is it that when you transport something by car its called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship it's called cargo? 7. Why do we play in recitals and recite in plays? And, of course, the coup de grace: 8. Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations? And buy,......nah. Why tout a stock as long as you might get flamed for it.
