I really enjoyed this post. πŸ˜€

I also really liked hearing the word "moose" over and over again. It's like a moose mantra.

I love that multiple moose are just called moose.

According to this source:

The plural form of moose is not meese because moose was borrowed into English from a native American Algonquin language. The word β€œmoose” is not a native Old English word. Newer English words don’t change the same. Old English words underwent sound changes that leave us with irregular plural forms.

Woot for knowledge! πŸ™Œ
