	irishgit (145) 09/14/2007	Relates to the root language the word was derived from. Plurals are different in different languages. (4 voted this helpful, 0 funny and 0 agree) 0 comment(s) - Email to a Friend
	LadyJesusFan777 (33) 09/14/2007	Maybe because it sounds unintellegent. (3 voted this helpful, 0 funny and 0 agree) 0 comment(s) - Email to a Friend
	Jed1000 (72) 03/04/2005	English borrows many words from other languages. Words with a similar spelling may come from different languages and their plurals are formed based on the plural form in the original language. French plurals are formed differently than German plurals etc. etc. (3 voted this helpful, 0 funny and 0 agree) 0 comment(s) - Email to a Friend

	Sundiszno (30) 07/22/2004	For the same reason that grice is not the plural of grouse. Actually, isn't the plural of grouse also grouse? I'm not sure... (3 voted this helpful, 0 funny and 0 agree) 0 comment(s) - Email to a Friend
