Subject:Mouse: Mouses or mice? From:Jim Grey <jwg -at- ACD4 -dot- ACD -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 14 Feb 1994 09:12:43 -0500
Gentle people:
I feel really silly asking this question.
When speaking of a mouse as a computer control device, is the plural
"mice" or "mouses"? I've been using "mouses" for, gawd, a couple years
now -- and just now, just this very minute, I got an edit replacing
"mouses" with "mice".
I didn't make a hard decision to use "mouses". I have seen it used that
way elsewhere, and liked the usage, so used it too.
