    This is a proposal to retire the word geese in favor of gooses.

    Mongeese? Goose → gooses. Would simplify the waterfowl family.

    Geese is literally a child’s first irregular plural after ‘teeth.’ Every English learner masters goose/geese before they can tie their shoes.

    This isn’t a problem that needs solving.
