I just realized that something about the English language is weird.
The past tense of the word "think" is not "thank," that's an entirely different word. It isn't "thunk," which describes a particular sound, and yes, I admit it, it can be the past tense of "think" in the phrase "Who'd have thunk it." But no, the actual past tense form of the word "think" is…wait for it…"thought?" Huh? Where'd that come from?
Meanwhile, "thought" can also mean something someone is thinking, as in "I'm having a thought." It can also mean something one might think, as in "Concerning the thought that 2+2 might not equal four in parallel universes."
