I like the thought that just like goose and geese the plural of moose should respectively be meese.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Agreed.

Following the same logic: if the plural of ox is oxen, the plural of fox is foxen.

Now I feel like the marketing department for the fashion industry back in the sixties missed an opportunity. It could've been a foxen coat or a foxen wrap.

The plural of grass should be grease.

Analogy is one of the strongest factors in language change

I die on this hill, people look at me weird when I say meese but it seems dum dum to have them different.
