Then there's abuse of latin roots....

Radius -> Radii
Gladius -> Gladii
P*nis -> P*nii

I think English is like software that has been patched uncountable times.... the only real solution is a rewrite from scratch.... of maybe that was Esperanto....

Actually, I'd think along the lines of

mouse -> mice, and
louse -> lice, therefore
grouse -> grice
house -> hice


Then, there's

goose -> geese, and
tooth -> teeth, therefore
booth -> beeth
moose -> meese


We also have

ox -> oxen, so why not
box -> boxen
fox -> foxen
