    "Mouses" isn't English. It's gibberish.

    According to Dictionary.com, the little furry rodents are called "mice" whereas the hand-held pointing devices for computers can be called EITHER "mice" or "mouses".

    I have no personal preference, myself.

    So you see, if it's in the Dictionary then it's not Gibberish!

    Thank you Bard!
