Hehe ... what's the plural of moose ... meese, mooses, or moose ?

Moose, I think it's the same like, sheep, geese and fish.
Another one people often get worng is you can have many dice but only one die.

--- Quote from: Aloone_Jonez ---I know English isn't your first language and I'm not meaning to mock but to educate, mice is the plural for mouse. Hell even people who have English as their first language mess this one up, it isn't obvious it's just one of the quirks of our language.

Actually, check out definition 3 here, but I can hardly claim the legitimacy of the variant word's origin given that it likely started among those of the Net-savvy who lack a formal education - but arrogant claims of creation are better left for another day. ;)
