Poll: Mouses or Mice

Mice because it's easier to say, and sounds more normal. Normaller...normal...normaller... NEW THREAD!!
 
House /houses , mouse/mouses not house/hice, mouse/mice. I disagree with the way the english language works. Another example, goose/geese and moose/moose should be goose/gooses and moose/mooses. 🙂
 
I think it shoulkd be mouses. I think of it this way. If you see two Micky Mouse figures, would you say they're Micky Mice, or they're Micky Mouses. Micky Mouses right? So therefore you would say Computer mouses.

Mickey Mouse is a proper noun, Computer mouse is not. Your analogy breaks down.

Good thing there's no fvcking logic in the language, and for every rule there are 50 exceptions...

"Mouses" was created to describe the plural of the computer mouse, before there was a computer mouse, there was no mouses. Mice is the plural of the rodent mouse and you the only correct term for more than one rodent mouse is mice.

Wiki/Zim are right. :beer:
