Why do writers write, but grocers don't groce? One goose, two geese? If one moose, two meese?
Why do we send cargo by ship and ship by truck?
What are the differences between a slim chance and a fat chance?
Why doesn't buick rhyme with quick?

cher913, you have definitely raised up some very interesting points about English. Way back when I was still in primary school learning some basic knowledge of proper English, I had those doubts as well, but as time goes by, I think we all just accept the way it is and no longer ask questions of "why?".
Who can tell me the reasons about those funny parts and I will salute that person. Perhaps someone that has learnt English in their tertiary education? LOL!;)

Hahaha, that's the funny part of English. English words are used in many manners that confused the listener, the reader and at the same the user. One word means a lot, it denotes then connotes to something, they're broad. You have to look up in search for meaning or definitions. A noun maybe used as verb and the other way around.
