What is the plural of the computer mouse?
Do you say mice or mouses? I know the plural of mouse is mice but it sounds weird when you say computer mice.

1. I never thought of that
I think it would have to be mouses.

2. Personally, I say mice. And then I say mouses because
mice sounded peculiar.

4. See, that's why I use a scrolling trackball
Never have to worry about that. Just call them balls.

5. according to wikipedia
there is no set plural. It can be either mouses, mice, or mouse devices.

13. Its meece, not meeces. The s is redundant, since meece is already the plural form of mouse.
:P
