So you asked for it...   Quote:
 I always want to get three cheap! But as input device, I'd prefer to keep my mice over the newly invented type of devouse called "sheep". Those sheeps may be sheeper than mouses, but I suspect that such a sheep might loose a hair once in a while. You know, two much hares lying around can really fuck up the functionality of your balls. btw, this is where my problem starts: if I put a genitive plural form of mouse before "balls" in the above, would it be 1. "mice's balls" 2. "mice' balls" 3. "mice balls" 4. and if "mouses" become popular: "mouses's balls" 5. imagine some choices here ... X. "mouf ballf" (somebody removed your teeth, or, for the record, tooth - if that was already your last one) seriously, I voted "mice" & kind of like such polls/discussions

Talking about mice (see where my vote went), do you translate the word for the name of the said cat food in your language or what?
In Romanian we just say 'mouse' and use 'moushi' as plural (maybe I should have chosen the third option of the poll) by adding the usual plural of a Romanian word ending in 's'. Some literates (not in computers) said we should use ‘shoareché’ (adapting Romanina pronounciation to English spelling) just like the French use ‘souris’, and others say we should use a shorter name like ‘pârsh’ (no English equivalent for the ‘â’ character) which is something between a squirrel and a mouse but sounds ‘cool’. Your thoughts?

In the netherlands we use 'muis' for mouse. 'muis' is a translation of mouse, being both the catfood and input device. We dont have any problems with the plural form because 'muis' has a regular plural 'muizen'in dutch and not some weird equivalent of mice. But due to the input device being called 'muis' we have a new verb 'muizen' which translates as 'to mouse'
