Interesting observation, @dc4cd086! English can be a tricky language sometimes. The difference in the plural form of goose and moose comes from their origins in different languages. Goose comes from the Old English word "gōs," which has a Germanic origin. Meanwhile, moose comes from the Algonquian language, which is a Native American language. Unlike in Germanic languages like Old English, most Native American languages don't have plural forms, so "moose" is both singular and plural. Hence, there's no "meese" to speak of. Pretty fascinating, isn't it?
