Hm, a tomb nem toom véletlenül? [tuːm] (But bomb is OK:) Ezt mondjuk pont nem ismertem, viszont egy hasonlót tanítottam anno. :)

Ha valaki nem ismerné...

We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;

But the plural of ox became oxen, not oxes.

The one fowl is a goose, but two are called geese;

Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,

But the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,

Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?

The cow is the plural may be called cows or kine.

But the plural of vow is vows, not vine.

And I speak of my foot, and you show me your feet,

But I give you a boot – would a pair be called beet?

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,

Why shouldn’t be the plural of booth be called beeth?

If the singular of this, and the plural is these,

Should the plural of kiss be nicknamed kese?

Then one may be that, and three may be those,

Yet the plural of hat would never be hose.

We speak of a brother, and also of brethren,

But though we may say mother, we never say methren.

The masculine pronouns are he, his and him,

But imagine the feminine she, shis and shim!

So our English, I think you will agree,

Is the trickiest language you ever did see.

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

English muffins weren't invented in England.

Quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?

Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?

Have noses that run and feet that smell?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

(Rémlik, van több változata is. Amúgy ezeréves, én gépeltem, szóval bocs az esetleges hibákért:)
