Mongooses or Mongeese?
Today I walked out of the warehouse here and saw 2 mongeese(mongooses)(mongoosae) and got stuck on what to call them.
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

A few nouns undergo a vowel change in the stem: foot, feet; goose, geese; louse, lice; man, men; mouse, mice; tooth, teeth; woman, women. Usually compounds in which one of these nouns is the final element form their plurals in the same way: webfoot, webfeet; gentleman, gentlemen; dormouse, dormice; Englishwoman, Englishwomen. Note, however, that mongoose and many words ending in man, such as German and human, are not compounds. These words form their plurals by adding -s: mongooses; Germans, humans.

What about Mongi?
I like Mongeese, it fits the rule of goose/geese, English needs to be simplified if all these hicks(GWB) expect the whole world to speak it.Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
