uh, Grod, English is probably one of the most difficult languages in the world to use. ya, there are a lot of languages mixed into it, and you'd think that that would make it easier, but it really makes it more confusing. There are all these rules from different languages, and then there are so many exceptions to the rule because of all of these different languages it's evolved from.

here's an example of things that can be hard to learn:

plural form of box is boxes
but for ox it's oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, and two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose is never called meese.

see how there are many different rules for the ending of a plural word? While, in many other languages, the rules for making a plural word is much simplier, because there aren't as many different ways to make a plural word. this doesn't just apply to plural words. it's just an example.

here's a few more examples of different ways to say plural words in English:

You may find a lone mouse or a house full of mice;
But the plural of house is houses, not hice.
The plural of man is always men,
But the plural of pan is never pen.

so someone learning English would have memorize all these different ways to say certain plural words. I can imagine it being very confusing. there are so many different spelling/pronounciation/grammar patterns from many different languages, and have to learn them all. and, even then, it can be hard to find out which rule to use for which words. you pretty much have to just memorize it all. which is why I'm glad English is my native language.

here's some more random examples:

If I speak of a foot, and you show me two feet,
And I give you a book, would a pair be a beek?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't two booths be called beeth?

He could lead if he would get the lead out.
The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
(there are so many homophones in English)
