In the end online suppliers refusing to use the form mouses will become extinct.


Actually the first entry you get if you google for 'cheap mice' is a link to a site offering 'mice and other pointing devices.

Among the companies that use 'mice' instead of 'mouses' are Logitech. In British English 'mice' is by far the most common plural.

Just to be argumentative, today that site is second on google for cheap mice.
First is this one for pet food:
http://www.petfooddirect.com/store/dept.asp?dept_id=123

And I don't care what anyone says on the matter, I'm not saying sillibusses

yep, thisi site
www.pcguide.com/buy/des/compMouse-c.html
is now second.
Actually every time we post a link to one or the other we actually affect the ranking. However all the ranking really shows is the relative popularity of the petfood site compared to the computer peripheral site.

I bought a couple of fish this morning. The fish were from two different species. One fish was from the ocean, the other from freshwater.
