Computer Mouse

[Bumbelz]

What is the plural for the computer mouse?
Is it mouses or mice?

[AutomaticGal]

mice =)

[AutomaticGal]

no.. both actually

"The Compact Oxford English Dictionary (third edition) and the fourth edition of The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language endorse both computer mice and computer mouses as correct plural forms for computer mouse. Some authors of technical documents may prefer either mouse devices or the more generic pointing devices."

I was going to say mouses, but Chambers, my bible, gives only mice for all meanings of the plural of mouse.

[Bumbelz]

I thought mouses but a friend insists it's mice.... Nice to know it can be either :0)

[rojash]

A computer mouse is so called because it looks like a mouse. More than one of them would look like a number of mice. Why on earth would the plural be different?

[RATTER15]

Rojash, that's exactly what I was thinking!! Madness!!

[AlBags]

That's probably Microsoft people trying to take over the world again.

[MarkRae]

Mice, definitely.
