Reddit post. Direcartographies replying to "fun fact: the reason that the plural of goose is geese but the plural of moose is not meese is because goose derives from an ancient germanic word undergoing strong declension, in the pattern of foot/feet and tooth/teeth, wherein oo is mutated to ee. however 'moose' is a native american word added to the english lexicon only ~400 years ago, and lacks the etymological reason to be pluralized in that way." Their reply is "Oh baby. Keep talking dirty to me."

Until I got to the bottom, I thought it was a lesser known piece by Kipling.
Image of page in book Text reads "March. Halt. Dismount. Surrender. Lay down your arms. Do not be afraid, we are English soldiers. Where is the headman of the village? Bring him here. How many horses have you? I will pay you cash for everything. If you do not collect everything in two hours, I will send my soldiers. Speak the truth, tell no lies, and do not hide anything or it will be the worse for you. I will take everything and give you a receipt. Useful Arabic phrases for British officers, from De Lacy O'Leary, Colloquial Arabic, first published in 1926"
