Subject: RE: Help: Reasons why English is so hard to learn
Shelley Berman had a pretty funny schtick on plurals. The only thing I can remember right now though is "One mouse, two mice; one blouse, two blice." More when (if) I can remember them.

Musically speaking, a French horn is not French, it's derived from an English hunting horn, and an English horn is not a horn, it's a woodwind. **Bleaugh!!**
