mice/mouses? (1 Viewer)

[cholly]

ok, this may seem really random, and it may actually belong in the english forum but...

i know the plural for feral little creatures is mice... but when it comes to hardware is it mice or mouses?

The established English conventions for plurals still apply to the computer mouse.

i.e plural is mice.

('mouses' isnt a word)

when it comes to computer periphrals. i say mouses when i am tlaking about more then one. and noone can stop me

I have a tendency to say "mouses" instead of mice when referring to computer mouse, just because "mice" doens't make me think of computer hardware, but the animal itself.

yeh definately "mouses" when talking about the computer peripheral
