When I was 6 (or maybe 7), and on a country walk with my family, I referred to "that shoop".
Well, several geese, but only one goose, therefore several sheep, but only one shoop.
It was perfectly logical to me at the time, and, come to think about it, I might start a campaign to make my version the correct one...
A childhood belief about speaking
