What is the plural for ........

[Hattie05]

Mouse??

No not the mice that squeak.

The ? that you control your cursor with.

Computer mices???mouse's???

Just a pointless question that i always wonder about.

Neither sounds right do they?

Meeces. Definitely.

I like it spacedonkey, d'you think people would know what i mean?

Right get your meeces ready!

"Here is a box of Computer Mice"

Perhaps it's like sheep. One sheep. Two sheep.

One mouse. Two mouse.

mice. sorry.

space donkey's version is better though.

I think thats from a reliable source isn't it SenoraPostrophe, i could tell from you apologetic tone

But you have spoilt my fun

But have enabled me to get some sleep now.

I like mouses.

SP, if ratón means mouse, what is Spanish for rat please?

rata

why?

One mouse.

Two mooses.

But that's just me.

Well its mouses (or meeces) in this IT Dept. Anyone wanting mice gets directed to Operations who (so we tell them) will quite happily catch some for them and will supply cockroaches free of charge too

But then I'm an awkward bugger me

Oh, I was just curious, SP - having seen "ratón" I wondered if Spanish mouses are so big they have to call them rats, so I checked what it means (v disappointed now )

Does ratón = little rat?

mice - takes one to know one

actually ón on the end of a word usually means big - sillón is armchair, and silla is chair, for example. so ratón= big rat. maybe they do have huge mice here. I haven't seen any though.

it's definately mice - it's the same word as for the rodent, so why wouldn't it be?

........s, surely?

hunker, it took me ages to "get" that!!

i don't geddit

I'm glad someone did
