Plurals!!!

   I guess it's kind of pushing it putting up four messages in one day, but i am super excited to get this blog. I have a question, a really important question that every person in America should think about. Because, honestly, we all SHOULD think about this at least once a day, maybe moore, if we are able to call ourselves compassionate enough to be a human being. If there is anyone out there that doesn't think about this serious issue, than shame on you, because this. . . is probably the most important thing you will ever be asked.
   . . .Has anyone else noticed that the English language is completely bonkers? there are so many rules to follow that make rhymes in kindergarden "i before e except after c" but later on in life, you realise they don't rhyme anymore because it goes something like this "i before e except after c unless the word you're spelling is an exception to the rule or is derived from a language not commonly heard, used or one that doesn't exist."
   Wow. Or, how all these other countries came up with thier own languages (except the romance languages which are all derived from latin) and we stole bits and pieces from all of them. Does that mean we were unspeaking dummies before we met those other people and stole their language? Maybe we had an even more complicated language than english and switched it out. Hmmmmmmm.
   Or plurals. there are so many rules for plurals it's not even funny. "es goes after words ending in s or se or x" and all that including plural words that end in s or ae or just stay the same. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?? did they just run out of creativity for words like deer. . . or fish? And now i have one last question for the blogoshere (besides, how do you follow people? i'm so confused. i hate computers!) . . . What's the plural for ambulence? huh? huh? Ambulence, ambulae, or ambulences?
