Are we using the noun plural for mouse correctly?
Hi :) fleming
Don't get confused!
The mouse we use for computer has no plural, only the living mouse has plural.

Hi, Henry,

What would you suggest we call two of them?
Hi Mike NY,
As far as i can recall,I have neither heard nor seen that the mouse used for computer is a living thing like the mouse which runs around on your ceiling.
So: All of the computer mouse are working perfectly.
