And another thing

these thoughts run through my head sometimes:

If the plural of "mouse" is "mice", then why is the plural of "house" "houses" and not "hice"?

And what is the letter "x" for goddamn it? It is useless. Whenever it starts a word it makes the "z" sound, and whenever found in a word it makes a "-ks" sound. How do I convey this to a three year old?? Enough with the "x" already. I petition against the "x"; I am going to write to Tony abaout this...
