| Aug 11, 2016 at 18:26 | comment | added | Sven Yargs | To add to the mystery of the -ouse family, the plural of grouse (which is of unknown etymology) is—more often than not—neither grice nor grouses but grouse. And though the plural of blouse is blouses, one common U.S. pronunciation treats the first s as if it were a z, unlike with any other -ouse noun I can think of (including scouse and lobscouse). | |

Duplicate of "Goose"–"geese" vs. "moose"–"moose" [duplicate], Why is the plural form of Moose not Meese? [duplicate] | |

| Jul 22, 2016 at 19:41 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | @HotLicks Neither of those two questions is really a proper duplicate. The diversity one is too generic—it doesn’t answer why these three seemingly identical words (apart from the initial consonant) have different plurals; and the moose/meese one only addresses why louse is lice, not why house isn’t hice. They’re definitely related, but I think this one is different (and specific) enough that they’re not duplicates. | |

| Jul 22, 2016 at 18:11 | comment | added | Hot Licks | And why do you think "house" should break the "standard" and have an abnormal plural, vs "mouse" and "louse" instead using the standard? | |
