I never realized how incredibly stupid the English language is until I had kids and had to think about what I was teaching them.
house --> houses
mouse --> mice
goose --> geese
moose --> moose
pay --> paid
pray --> prayed
And on and on and on and on. It's just a mass of inconsistent, illogical rules that you just need to memorize.
