..... the plural of the mouse you use on a computer?
Is it mouses or mice?
Just after spending all Easter at the rink doing judging and setting up the computers for our IJS, I was just wondering.
Either that or I am going mad.

What the hell is a Ninja Twizzle? Does it have anything to do with hard shelled aquatic life forms that live in the sewer?

At our shop, we use "mice" as in "I need 6 mice for the conference room." If I said "mouses", folks would laugh. I'm in New England.

Yup. No matter what the plural is supposed to be, in real life around here it's "mice". If I were to call it "mouses", people would think I was being deliberately odd.

I totally thought this was going to be a joke thread! What do you call it when...
I'd say mice, too.
