The idiosyncracies of the English language ...
Probably because my parents have sheep on their "farm" and they have featured rather more than normal in our everyday conversations of late, I have again begun to ponder something that has long annoyed me ...
If the plural of "goose" is "geese" ...
... why is the singular of "sheep" not "shoop" ?
Hrmm ???
