Suzie's* theory on ... Plurals
The English language was surely invented purely for the purpose of confusing people and making English a difficult area to teach. There are numerous flaws with the English language. One that is quite non-sensical is the existance of 's' to signify plural form. For example:
1 dog
2 dog
50 dog
3457 dog
many dog
lot of dog
Do we really need the s?
Perhaps the Chinese are onto something...
*Mop refused to put her name to this theory. I personally think this is a much more pertinent issue than romance blah blah blah....

Do you really blame me for not wanting to put my name on this theory? Guess you can tell who the teacher is "Miss Suzie"... I personally have better things to think about other than the bad structure of the English language, like debating whether or not I am going to go out on Saturday night... I think you just get really bored when I am not home sometimes Suz!

maybe we should follow the aboriginal example:
one dog
some dog
big mob of dog
and just forget the numbers as well, after all maths is a pain to teach as well!
