his subject has been brought up in the past, and rather well covered IIRC.

However, you seem to raise a new point   Perhaps your friend didn't 
think out all the implications, since the plural of bayit is batim 
(which in itself is irregular).  The plural of the regular zayit is 
zeitim.  If the plural of talit were telatim (or teleitim or 
something similar---Yiddish of course has taleisim, but that is 
another matter), your Israelit friend's comment would be more relevant.

But perhaps more to the point, bayit and zayit are mil`eil, while 
talit is milra, so that any comparison becomes even less relevant IMHO.
