>And I haven't even started on the shortage of suffices in English. The same suffix, -s, denotes third person of present tense in verbs, plural in nouns, and serves as possesive suffix (with an apostrophe, though - but sounds exactly the same).

I suppose you realize that the plural of suffix is not suffices. And "its", without apostrophe, is the possessive form - a real killer. The "exception that proves the rule", as we like to say. Figure that one out!
