A human has only two eyes. Both are on the front of the face. It is the same with most earth species. These human eyes are very similar to our main eyes. But humans seem fascinated by my stalk eyes. One of the humans, Marco, has said they “creep him out big time.” I believe this is a compliment.

But there are lots of other dialects that do strange things with verbs after "if." Larry gave one in his post: "If I be late, I would be in trouble." I understand the be, but the tenses are weird.
