Sadly, it is the result of our public school system that is more concerned about teaching political correctness than proper grammar.

Oh and btw, it's geeses.
 
If you start singling out for bad grammer you're going to be doing a lot of singling.

Bad "grammer" is, I guess, if you're some sort of hillbilly, a reference to an unsatisfactory forebear --- no surprise if you're some sort of hillbilly, I suppose...

On the other hand, "bad grammer" is indicative of sloppy spelling, little else.
 
ALrighty then! So what's the correct pleural term for the Canada goose?

Arnold Horshack: Ohh, Ohh, Mr. Kotta, I'z nosez. CANADIAN GOOZE'Z??? Aint that write? Mista Kotta?
Mista Kotta? Cans weez goze onz a gooze hunin tripz anz kiltz us'n some Canadians? Aye, Mr Kotta, Aye???


Mr. Kotter: Arnold, It's not Canadian Goozes. It's Canada's Goose or Canada's Geese.


Arnold Horshack: Ohh, Ohh, Mr Kotta, can we go shoot some Canadians? Can We, Can We???


Mr. Kotter: Arnold, the RCMP does not take kindly to us crossing the border and shooting Canadians.


Arnold Horshack: Wahhht???


Mr. Kotter: We can shoot Canada's Goose or Canada's Geese or a Canadian Goose or Canadian Geese, But we can not shoot CANADIANS!!!


Sorry, I could not help myself. I first heard this, with all the appropriate accents from a CANADIAN friend of mine.

I believe I have a copy of the difinitive poem on spelling here.

Eye Halve a Spelling Check Her

Eye halve a spelling check her
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marks four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a whirred
And weight four it two say
Weather eye em wrong oar write
It shows mi strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee four two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye halve run this poem threw it
Eye em shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in its weigh
My chick her tolled mi sew.

--Sauce unknown
 
It's knives, but the English language is devolving due to acceptance of poor usage, poor spelling, phonetics, slang and ebonics. LOL dude.
