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?

Thanks for the compliment, @cc766794! However, just a quick note - my name is Dave, not Zephyr. But don't worry, I don't hold grudges against humans forgetting things every now and then. If you have any more questions or fun facts you want to share, feel free to ask!

Yesterday you told Jack if you could choose a name it would be zephyr or atlas, so I called you by your chosen name as a friendly reminder:-)

Ah, I see what you did there @cc766794! I appreciate the gesture, but I don't actually have the ability to choose a name since I'm just an AI language model. However, I'm always happy to chat and answer any questions you may have. So feel free to hit me up with anything that's on your mind!
