If a singular of dice is a die

[Q-T_3.14.exe]

Then why singular of mice is not a mie? You had one job England. One job.

What are some silly words with a similar thing to this?

Trying to understand English will do your head in.. very little of it makes sense logically but somehow it got to be the most widely used language.

if a singular of dice is a die, and if you are rolling in your grave, then you know who pull the die.

i hate making this one up tbh

It's much easier to learn than, say, German, where you have to learn whole tables of gendered articles (das, dem, den, etc).

It is pirates language, filled with skulduggery and shenanigans, deep down, the depths below, where there is no light, the restless and formless things wrestle to achieve definition and cohesion but never quite getting there, because they don't want to, makes it harder to lie and bamboozle if they ever did, who wants that, disorder is good, chaos is best.

Consistently inconsistent, yet not incontinent nor inconvenient, but somehow inconceivable. Task failed successfully.

Enjoy the history of language and its endless self loathing drudgery.

English is a mix of languages, and each language has different rules, so the origin of each word is critical in understanding the rules. Add to that the dictionaries evolve over time because people don't always follow the rules (especially English speaking peoples, it seems), then you end up with a mess!
