Only retards confuse things like its and it's

I'm not 100% sure where -s plural comes from but it looks like a Latin feature to me

And there are some words that have different plural forms, although they are becoming archaic - brothers, brethren

Lmao no

Makes sense when most of your nouns are of Latin origin

I like that plural for man is men

Latin plural is -i, -ae, -a

We retained this stem changing plural system for Germanic nouns

Mouse->mice

@Byzas Come in vocal in Info Orthodoxe

Iirc these are called strong verbs

Watching some TV my dude @Constantin le Lamantin

Something special going on?

No

Just saying Romans are heretics

The basics

high five

@Byzas but Spanish adds -s for plural as well

But it doesn't just add S

-os, -as, -es

I read somewhere something about Spanish and Italian using plural systems for different Latin cases

And Spanish never took over English, if we got it from something romance it was french

Italian goes o->i a->e

But the french don't pronounce the S on the end of plurals

Les voyages sounds like lay voyage

Yeah but I'm suspecting the -s suffix plurals may have come from Normans

Maybe, but i don't see how it would have trickled into English considering they don't pronounce it and the lower class would probably have been illiterate

But again I have to look into that before I say for certain because I don't know much about Anglo Saxon grammar, especially regarding plurals

Well much of the upper level vocabulary is of Latin origin

Yup

So makes sense half our worlds would use a Latin derived plural system

Thanks to the rape of English by the Normans

For basic words every peasant knows, such as man, mouse, woman, we use an umlaut stem changing plural

And the rape of orthodoxy in England <:aaa:509492295599652864>

But for the Germanic word king we use kings

REEEE
