  A quick question of practically no import whatsoever:
  
  All of our computers (I assume) have a mouse.
  
  So if you have more than one computer mouse, are they called "mouses" or "mice"?

  I think it's still a "mouse," but I could be wrong...it's like the "fish" versus "fishes" question.

  IMO, it should be called as 'mouse' since 'mice' is the plural noun for the living mouse.
  
  oh yeah, the 'grammer' should be spelled as 'grammar', not 'grammer'

  Never think of it. But I always call it mice if the computer has more than one mouse, but mouses just sound too weird. Tech people also don't care so much. Can use can liao.
