FYI

From my son's school planner:

Do you know the correct plural form for the following words?

Ox
Crisis
Moose
Die
Phenomenon
Mouse
Grouse
Shelf
Roof
Nucleus

The correct plural forms are oxen, crises, moose, dice, phenomena, mice, grouse (or grouses), shelves, roofs, nuclei.

Gotta love the English language. Any opportunity to make it more complex has always been taken. Only "phenomena" threw me when I first heard it.
