I don't either. I know it has roots in the historical, back when Latin snobbery was all the rage, but it seems plain silly when English has its own method of pluralization. When you throw ancient languages like Latin and Greek into the mix it gets even sillier, between the occasional endings English gets confused over and people wanting to decline third declension nouns and ugh.

Most languages already are a huge confusing mess when you get down to it, but English, due to aforementioned ancient language snobbery, is one of the worst for it. Linguistics is basic one big merry investigation into how fucked up languages are.
