I believe that "mouses" is okay if you talk about computer peripherals...or Mickey Mouse �s family, the Mouses ;o)

Blunder-buster is right.
It depends, we say mice as in rodents.
There were two mice eating cheese on my floor this morning.
but
Mouses for computers.
That company sells a range of keyboards as well as computer mouses.

I was reading an article and I found three times the word "mouses"
(The article refers to computers)

That would be the same kind of thing as walkmans vs walkmen.
I always learned that the plural of mouse is mice but then again, when I was a kid there weren �t any computer mouses/mice yet, very interesting question! |
