Is it mice our mouses when referring to a computer mouse? Computer mice sounds kind of odd, whereas computer mouses sounds a bit more normal.
mice is more than 1, mouse is 1, mouses is not a word.

lol I was just saying that "computer mice" sounds odd... but maybe thats just because I dont hear people pluralize "mouse" pertaining to computers often.

i dunno, i could see how there would be a big debate between mice and mouses....but mice refers to the little hairy vermin...where as mouse refers to both them....and a hand operated computer interface device...so who knows

no its not, but its more accurate than most sites on the web. It does say on Wikipediathat either term is correct. I have heard people call mice, mouses, but its usually end users...
